Ashton Kutcher may have been one of the heartthrobs of the early 2000s ... but he shockingly says he was once fired from a Gucci campaign for being "too fat."

The "That '70s Show" alum shared his story while chatting with Entertainment Tonight recently ... revealing he booked an exclusive campaign for Gucci in his early modeling days and flew all the way to Italy for the shoot. But, when he slipped into his pink Speedo, he says Gucci Creative Director Tom Ford said he was "too fat" and fired him.

Ashton said he was 178 pounds at the time, but didn't take it too personally and understood Ford "had a specific thing he wanted to see." He was about 19 at the time, which would have placed this situation in 1997 or 1998.

You may recall, Chris and Kenan were friends and costars on 'SNL' from 2017 to 2022, but their relationship soured over Kenan's ex-wife, Christina Evangeline. Chris previously said Christina helped him through a rough period during his pill addiction, and they had formed a romantic bond. That drove a wedge between Chris and Kenan.
