Bill Clinton told Kevin Spacey 'House of Cards' is '99 percent' accurate

Kevin Spacey is revealing what a former real-life president thinks of the way he portrays being the president of the United States on Netflix’s House of Cards, revealing Bill Clinton thinks it’s very accurate.

In an interview with Gotham magazine, Spacey revealed how big of a fan Clinton is of the show.

“He tells me, ‘I love that House of Cards,” Spacey said of Clinton, who he plays poker with. “Kevin, 99 percent of what you do on that show is real. The 1 percent you get wrong is you could never get an education bill passed that fast.”

Also in the interview, Spacey talked about what drew him into the series after taking a bit of a break in the spotlight.

“The script was fantastic, David Fincher is a genius, and I liked that it was a brave thing to do,” he explained.

He went on to praise the concept of binge-watching, which has been made popular by streaming sites like Netflix.

“I’m not a binge-watcher myself, but I understand the addiction completely,” he said. “People watch what they watch. The audience doesn’t care how they get their content. They just want it to be good.”
