Washington, Aug 12 : Ashton Kutcher has revealed that he ate just one meal a day to lose weight in order to befit his role in new movie Spread.

The ordeal was made even more difficult since he had earlier piled on the pounds to play a wrestler in Personal Effects, which he had just ended filming when he signed the new comedy.

The `Just Married' star had to lose almost 10 pounds.

"I had just played a movie where I played a wrestler, so I had to lose like 10 pounds and stop eating and take care of myself. I really cut back to a meal a day. I was probably down to 175 pounds," Contactmusic quoted him as telling People. com.

The film Spread revolves around a serial womaniser who sleeps his way into luxury. (ANI)
