Kevin Spacey rushed to hospital fearing ‘heart attack’: report

Kevin Spacey said he was rushed to the hospital on Monday after his left arm went numb while visiting Uzbekistan for a film festival.

The two-time Oscar-winning actor, 64, got an MRI scan and was released, the Sun first reported.

The New York Post has reached out to Spacey’s reps for comment.

The “House of Cards” actor, speaking onstage at the Tashkent International Film Festival, said he was touring the archaeological site Afrasiyab in Samarkand when he felt his “entire left arm go numb for about eight seconds.”

The actor was then rushed to a clinic, where he underwent tests.

Despite fears that he may have suffered a heart attack, “everything turned out to be completely normal,” Spacey said.

“Mr. Spacey was taken to a medical center over health concerns,” a source close to the actor told the Sun. “He was treated professionally by doctors and staff and found to have no problem with his heart.” 

Later that evening, Spacey was a guest at the film fest and appeared to be in good spirits.

Spacey, who most recently appeared in the the micro-budget film “Control,” which was directed by Gene Fallaize, gave a speech at the festival’s closing ceremony.

Addressing the audience about the scary incident, the “Usual Suspects” star said, “It made me really take a moment and think about how fragile life is. For all of us.”

He also teased that he is ready for a big Hollywood comeback after being acquitted of sex assault charges in London in July.

The “House of Cards” actor said his arm went numb when he was inside the Afrasiyab Museum, located at the historical site of Afrasiyab, one of the largest archaeological sites in the world.

A friend of Spacey’s, writer Geoffrey Mark, said the once-A-lister is hoping to return to Tinseltown — despite reports he’s still not welcome by the industry’s in-crowd.

“He’s going to have to rebuild, and in doing so, my opinion is, he’s going to go in a direction we hadn’t considered before,” Mark told Daily Mail. “We’re going to see a whole new creative side of him come out. Most folks are going to say, ‘Wow, I never knew.’ There’s a lot more coming, good stuff coming, and I’m thrilled to see it.”
