In what is retrospectively one of the most cringeworthy interviews ever conducted on television, actor Kevin Spacey discussed his ‘bromance,’ with former President Bill Clinton on the Charlie Rose Show. To date, all three men are embroiled in sex scandals.

Rose asked Spacey about his “bromance” with the 42nd president. Spacey, who has previously described his relationship with Clinton as a close friendship, explained why he thinks they are good friends. “Well, we’ve known each other a long time. We’ve had a lot of different experiences over the years,” Spacey said. “Both in his first and second terms, I did a great number of things for him either at the White House or for the Democratic Party, hosted a lot of events, did a lot of things privately, did a lot of things on the campaign.” Spacey said that he never doubted Clinton and was always there for him.

“I suppose that perhaps I never waited to see which way the wind would blow in respect to him. I was always there. And I was true friend. And never doubted him. Never stopped believing in him. Thought he was an extraordinary man,” Spacey told Rose.

“Took him as he was?” Rose asked.

“Took him as he was,” Spacey replied.

“And I think that may be part of the reason why we became close.”
