As in subject: given a matrix $A$ of size $n$ with all elements equal exactly 1. What are the eigenvalues of that matrix ?

Let $A$ be a real $n\times n$ matrix, with ones in the diagonal, and all of the other elements equal to $r$ with $0<r<1$. How can I prove that the eigenvalues of $A$ are $1+(n-1)r$ and $1-r$, ...
