Disgraced Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey has furiously hit back at an ant he allegedly groped during the making of the Pixar film ‘A Bug’s Life’.

Spacey, who played the villainous Hopper in the film, said the ant’s recent accusations that he groped him during production are pure fantasy. “Why would I grope an ant?” said the ‘Fred Clause’ actor. “Especially a blue, animated one.”

The ‘Men Who Stare at Goats’ star said that the ant was simply trying to raise his profile off the back of his recent publicity. “I know for a fact that the only other roles he’s ever had were in ‘Ant Bully’ and ‘Antz’, and he didn’t even get past the audition for ‘Ant-Man’ because he wasn’t part man. He’s just an ant.”

The ant was unavailable for comment.
