Michael Douglas thinks it's fine for actresses to be told to lose weight.
The 69-year-old actor is currently starring in 'The Reach', a film for which his co-star Jeremy Irvine was asked to put on 20 pounds of muscle, and he's admitted he thinks it's perfectly acceptable for women to be asked to lose weight if their role in a film as "eye candy".
Quizzed on whether actors have to be eye candy, he told The Guardian newspaper: "It's not acceptable for women to be eye candy?!
"If your role in that picture is to be eye candy and the director looks at you and says, 'You're going to be in a bra and panties and you're looking pretty soft around the middle'. Absolutely you'd tell that person to kick ass."
The 'Basic Instinct' star - who is married to 44-year-old actress Catherine Zeta-Jones - went on to insist that it can be detrimental to a movie if the actor chosen for a certain part doesn't have the right look.
Michael added: "This guy [Jeremy's character] is search and rescue. He's a mountaineer. He's in physical shape. Ignoring the fact that he happens to be a decent looking guy, it would be wrong for him to not be in shape.
"If you wanted Seth Rogen running through the desert, that's a different movie."
