Usual Suspect Spacey comes clean on 'mugging'

Kevin Spacey has "come clean" about why he told police he had been mugged but then dropped the complaint.

The actor said he reported "the attack" after a youth conned him into handing over his mobile while he was walking his dog in a London park early on Saturday.

What actually happened was he fell for a con and was "incredibly embarrassed by it" - some sob story about somebody needing to call their mother and could they use his phone.

Apparently he actually dialled the number himself and when someone answered he then finally handed over the phone….and the kid took off with it!

Rather than being attacked, he actually tripped over his dog and ended up falling on to the street and hitting himself in the head.

Now, he says he feels "like the biggest fool that ever lived".
