Even Hollywood royalty isn't immune to the harsh scrutiny of the fashion world. Actor Ashton Kutcher just revealed that legendary designer Tom Ford once fired him from a Gucci modeling gig for being "too fat."
The Pink Speedo Incident and Ashton Kutcher Tom Ford Gucci Firing
According to Entertainment Weekly, Kutcher reflected on his early modeling days when he was booked for an exclusive campaign for Gucci during the Tom Ford era. After flying to Italy for the runway show, things took an unexpected turn during a fitting.
He puts me in, like, a pink Speedo. I was 178 pounds. I know exactly how much I weighed. He was like, 'He's too fat,' and I got fired.
Now 47 years old, the actor says he and Ford can laugh about it now. He noted that Ford simply had a "specific thing he wanted to see," and it didn't mean he was less valuable, just not the right fit for that specific moment.
Connecting to 'The Beauty' and Demi Moore
The revelation comes just ahead of the debut of his new Hulu series, The Beauty, launching on January 21. The show explores a world where a transformative substance allows people to achieve physical perfection—a theme that resonates with Kutcher's own experiences with body insecurity in the industry.
Kutcher also took a moment to praise his ex-wife, Demi Moore, for her role in The Substance. "I'm so proud of her, she killed it," he said, acknowledging the similarities between her film and his new series regarding the societal pressure for beauty.
