Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey smiled and waved as he arrived at court ahead of his trial for alleged sex offences.

The Hollywood star previously denied 12 charges against four men including sexual assault and indecent assault.

The 63-year-old arrived at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday in a taxi wearing a pink tie and a navy suit.

He took a moment to say good morning to people assembled outside court before making his way into the building.
