Washington, Nov 14 : Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher has injured himself during an American football game.

The 30-year-old star, who’s the stand-in coach for Harvard-Westlake High Wolverines, is nursing a black eye he picked up during the game.

“This is the black eye of pride of a football coach having a job well done," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

Kutcher’s new job as a football coach is surely paying off as his team were off to a 4-2 winning start this season.

The ‘Punk’d’ star admits he''s getting a lot out of his new job.

"Though football is no great step for mankind... it''s a great step for me,” he told Sports Illustrated magazine.

"I''m not there to teach them; they are there to teach me,” he added. (ANI)
