The 60-year-old specifically remembered the year when Spacey agreed to come to the party, adding: “He was an Oscar-winning actor, there was a lot of buzz and excitement that he was at the ball.” Spacey only appeared in images from 2001, he said. Mr Furnish also gave evidence during the trial, and explained to jurors that he had taken the time to review all the pictures taken at the party, which was held annually throughout the 2000s. He told jurors it ended up being the “most expensive Mini Cooper ever”.Īfter the event, Spacey stayed the night at the home of Sir Elton and his husband David Furnish.

The House of Cards actor, sitting in the dock, chuckled at that.Īt the ball, Spacey said he bought a red Mini in a charity auction. When asked how he knew Spacey did not travel on a commercial flight, Sir Elton laughed: “I don’t think he was wearing white tie on a commercial flight.” Sir Elton, however, told jurors that Spacey only came to the gala once, in 2001, and arrived at the last minute after flying in on a private jet.

One of Spacey’s main accusers had claimed he had been groped by the actor while driving to Sir Elton’s Windsor home for one of his “White Tie and Tiara” balls in 2004 or 2005.
