Robin Wright and House of Cards have moved on from Kevin Spacey after the fallout from several allegations of sexual misconduct against the actor.
Though while the drama will have its final season without Spacey, the new lead is still naturally being asked questions about her former co-star.
On whether she thought he deserved a career reprieve, the recently-married Wright told Net-A-Porter: “I don’t know how to comment on that, I really don’t.
“I believe every human being has the ability to reform. Has the ability to reform.
“In that sense, second chances, or whatever you are going to call it – absolutely, I believe in that. It’s called growth.”
Of whether she would like to reach out to him, he added: “No. He’ll reach out when he’s ready, I’m sure. I think that’s the way it should go.”
Asked if she felt sorry for him, she said: “I feel sorry for anybody whose life is in the public arena. It’s a nightmare, can you imagine?
“We do a job, we share [a performance] with viewers. Why does our private life have to be public? I hate that part of this industry. It’s so invasive. I believe everyone’s personal life should be personal.
“Positive, negative, neutral, whatever – I don’t believe it should be anybody’s business.”
She added: “But I’m not talking about this [#MeToo] movement.
“I’m talking about media. The exposure. It’s an awful feeling. A stranger deciding they know who you are and they are going to put that in a… I mean, it’s criminal, it really is.”
In the same interview, Wright said that House of Cards came “very, very close” to being axed after the allegations were made against Spacey.
Of the allegations against Spacey, Wright previously said that she didn’t really know him as a person outside of their positive working relationship.
“Kevin and I knew each other between action and cut, and in between set-ups where we would giggle.” she said.
“I didn’t really – I didn’t know the man. I knew the incredible craftsman that he is.”
House of Cards returns to Netflix for its sixth and final season later this year.
