A massive mural of the Hollywood actor, created in 2015 in Manchester by well-known street artist Akse, will be removed following allegations of sexual harassment in the U.S. and the UK, the artist confirmed to the Manchester Evening News.
The owner of the Nurbhai accountancy firm, on whose walls Akse painted the mural, said he was a House of Cards fan but now was "adamant" it should be removed, according to the BBC.
