Up until now, Robin Wright has not discussed the departure of her former co-star Kevin Spacey from 'House of Cards' in any great detail - but with the new (and final) season on the horizon, it's inevitable that she'll be quizzed on it.

She added that she had not yet been in touch with Spacey, and that “he’ll reach out when he’s ready, I’m sure. I think that’s the way it should go."

She also said that she felt 'sorry' for Spacey, who is facing a number of sexual assault cases in the UK and US.

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. 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.”
