The 'House of Cards' star - who has been accused of sexual misconduct and sexually assaulting a number of people - is said to be undergoing treatment at a rehab centre in Arizona, the same place shamed producer Weinstein is seeking treatment after over 50 women claimed he had sexually assaulted them over a 30 year period.

Spacey arrived at the centre towards the end of last week, the DailyMail.com reports.

The Hollywood star's representative had previously confirmed Spacey was "taking time" away from the spotlight to receive treatment.

They said in a statement: "Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment. No other information is available at this time."

Spacey had previously admitted he was "beyond horrified" to hear Anthony Rapp's claims that he made a sexual advance towards the actor when he was just 14-years-old and insisted he couldn't remember the alleged "encounter".

In a statement, he said: "I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I'm beyond horrified to hear his story. I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago. But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour, and I am sorry for the feelings he described having carried with him all these years."

"This story has encouraged me to address other things in my life. I know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fueled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy. As those closest to me know, in my life I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behaviour. (sic)"
