Is this a yearly tradition now?
Kevin Spacey, who has basically been in exile ever since allegations of sexual misconduct and assault were levelled against him in late 2017, has broken his silence in odd fashion once again.
On Christmas Eve last year, Spacey
posted a strange video to the Internet in which he appeared to be performing as Frank Underwood, his character from Netflix series House of Cards.
The actor was written out of that show before the final season was put together.
In the 2018 Christmas address entitled 'Let Me Be Frank', Spacey monologued to the camera, making knowing references to his public cancellation while seemingly lobbying for a return to the role of Underwood.
As noted, it was really very weird. Well, he's back with more of the same.
Having not posted anything of note online for precisely 12 months - he did make a public appearance in Rome during August where he read a poem - Spacey unveiled a new video on Christmas Eve via his Twitter account.
Named 'KTWK' - Kill Them With Kindness - the minute-long video finds Spacey sitting by the fire wishing viewers a Merry Christmas following "a pretty good year".
He also notes that he is grateful to have his health back.
"In light of that I've made some changes in my life and I'd like to invite you to join me," Spacey says, perhaps still in Underwood mode while almost certainly addressing his real-life issues.
"As we walk into 2020 I want to cast my vote for more good in this world. Ah yes, I know what you're thinking - 'Can he be serious?' - I'm dead serious. And it's not that hard, trust me.
"The next time someone does something you don't like, you can go on the attack but you can also hold your fire and do the unexpected. You can kill them with kindness."
Cue sinister music playing. Seriously, who is this for?

Two criminal cases of alleged sexual assault against Spacey were dropped earlier in the year.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office also dropped a sexual assault case after the anonymous accuser in question passed away.
The 60-year-old is still under investigation in London relating to alleged sexual assaults.
