Angelina Jolie Weight Loss Concerns Soar After Brad Pitt’s Ex Appears ‘Anorexic’ On Red Carpet

Angelina Jolie has been slender for years. But in the wake of her split from Brad Pitt, Jolie has been referred to repeatedly in terms such as “shockingly thin” and even “skeletal.” Angelina’s most recent appearance on the red carpet drew notice because of her gown, which bared her skinny arms. Is Jolie’s weight loss endangering her health?

Hollywood Life questioned a health expert about the concerns some fans have voiced regarding Angelina’s weight loss, which resulted in displaying even the veins on her thin arms and wrists.

“Angelina Jolie is known for her thin appearance with protruding veins on her body, but should those veins be a concern?”

Talking with Hollywood Life about Jolie’s weight loss and resulting “bulging” veins on her arms and legs, vascular surgeon Dr. Larisse K. Lee analyzed Angelina’s appearance. The large vein on Jolie’s forearm is her accessory cephalic vein and the visible vein on her leg is the great saphenous vein, explained the medical specialist. But just because it’s so visible doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s dangerous, according to this expert.

Admitting that Angelina is a “physically thin woman,” Dr. Lee clarified that her thin body results in her protruding veins on her hands and arms. Because Jolie is so slim, “when she flexes her muscles that’s when those veins are more pronounced and you can see them more.”

Angelina Jolie So ‘Physically Thin’ That Veins Are ‘Pronounced,’ Says Expert

However, when it comes to reasons to worry, Dr. Lee did not see anything that should cause concern about Angelina’s body. The surgeon did say that if Jolie’s veins were spider-like or if they were bigger bulging veins, then she would need to have those treated.

However, those spider-like veins or extremely large, bulging veins usually only appear in older people and bigger individuals, according to the expert. Consequently, Dr. Lee concluded that Angelina’s appearance does not show anything “symptomatic” of a health concern.

“She’s just a vascular woman.”

Jolie has been busy in the wake of her split from Brad Pitt. From stepping out on the red carpet at film premieres with Maddox, Pax, Vivienne, Knox, and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to starring on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, Angelina increasingly has returned to the public spotlight. That return, however, has sparked even more comments about her slender figure.

Angelina Jolie Health Rumors Include Anorexia

Commenting on Hollywood Life‘s article, readers debated about what Jolie’s weight loss meant. One thought that Angelina appeared to have an eating disorder.

“She is anorexic. She looks terrible.”

But others disagreed.

“Angie is NOT anorexic,” retorted another.

And one commentator compared cellulite to protruding veins while throwing shade at overweight individuals.

“We slender people have veins and bones that show, unlike fatties who see nothing but cellulite,” asserted the debater.

As the Inquisitr reported, Jolie’s weight following her split from Brad Pitt has been estimated at 76 pounds.

How Angelina Jolie Protects Shiloh Jolie-Pitt And Other Kids From Worrying About Mom

As for whether Jolie’s own children might be worried about their mom’s weight loss, Pop Sugar pointed out that Angelina has gone to great lengths to ensure that her kids have no reason to worry about their famous mom.

Even if Jolie does have hidden health concerns, the actress has stated that she wants to make certain that her children “are never worried” about their mother.

“Even if I’m going through something, I make sure [my kids] are very aware that I’m totally fine.”

Angelina has shared that she’ll stop what she is doing and “make a joke” or chat with her kids. Above all, the mom of six emphasized that she “never, ever” wants any of her six children to “have that secret worry and feel that they have to take care of me.”
