"Sometimes when you are in a situation that you don't get to necessarily focus on yourself," said the actor, who split from Britney Spears in August after 14 months of marriage.

"So, in the past five months I've had a little transformation which was losing about a good 35 to 40 pounds," Asghari said. "Sometimes when you are in a situation that you don’t get to necessarily focus on yourself, it could be challenging for you to notice [your physique changes] but everybody else does."
The former personal trainer added that he recently had a "spiritual" and "energy" shift in his life.
"I have more time for myself to focus on myself," he said, adding, "Being by yourself and alone is a really good opportunity to focus on yourself."
Asghari -- who filed for divorce from Spears in August after 14 months of marriage -- said that his fitness transformation is "not necessarily a revenge body, but a self-love sort of thing."

"Sometimes you get too focused on yourself," he told Page Six, noting that "self-love is something everyone should practice."
Asghari, 29, and Spears, 42, started dating in 2017. The two became engaged in 2011 and tied the knot last year. However, in August, after a little over a year of marriage, the former couple separated, with Asghari filing for divorce.
Following his split from the pop star, the Black Monday star said he doesn't have any plans to jump back into the dating pool just yet.
"I'm focusing on work at the moment," he said. "I definitely won’t be joining any dating apps any time soon. That's for sure."
Meanwhile, Asghari can be seen flaunting his toned bod in a new PETA campaign, above, and opened up to Page Six about working with the organization and his love of animals, stressing "the importance of adopting and rescuing animals from shelters."
