00:00Angelina Jolie is not okay and there's a lot of signs pointing to it. Fans are

00:06really starting to worry about her. Angelina Jolie has been subject to

00:09plenty of speculation throughout her career not just for her personal life

00:12and marriage to Brad Pitt but also for her appearance. Well we all have times in

00:16our lives where we feel broken. For the most part public fascination with

00:21Angelina's appearance hinges on a question that's echoed for years. Why does

00:26she look so thin? While the actor has long been celebrated for her beauty and

00:31slender figure, Jolie's drastic weight loss has sparked plenty of concern among

00:35fans. Some fans claim she's always been on the smaller side pointing to

00:39paparazzi shots and red carpet photos from as far back as the late 90s. Others

00:45however believe her shape took a turn for the worse when life changes like

00:49career demands started pulling up. All women could have this at times in their

00:53lives. All people could have this when you go. I've had it many times in my

00:56life. I did want it. So things reached a fever pitch around 2018 right when

01:01Angelina and Brad's continuous separation was in full swing. Jolie

01:07claimed Pitt was abusive to her and their children during the two-year

01:11marriage. Publications like Star magazine threw around alarming phrases like Angie

01:16has stopped eating almost entirely asserting she was down to shockingly low

01:21numbers on the scale. An alleged insider declared she's so frail her bones are

01:26nearly breaking. Photos circulating online showing the usually poised

01:31actress looks especially gaunt at press events appeared to confirm the potential

01:37rumors. Okay so back then fans were deeply concerned flooding social media

01:41would please for her to prioritize her well-being. Hollywood Life picked up

01:45these claims fanning the claims of speculation and observers noted how

01:49Angelina who was known for commanding a room with her charismatic presence

01:54suddenly appeared subdued and overshadowed by her own clothes. She

01:59continued to smile on red carpets though critics pointed out that the skin on her

02:03arms and shoulders just didn't look right. Okay so of course tabloids being

02:08tabloids they painted the picture in the most sensational way possible. The big

02:13question was whether any of it had a kernel of truth. In 2021 Angelina found

02:18herself back on the global stage to promote the Marvel film Eternals. While

02:22the event was intended to celebrate her own role in a high-budget superhero flick

02:27many fans fixated on her extremely lethal form. Her arms appeared more

02:32slender than ever and her collarbones looked pronounced leading to renewed

02:37whispers of potential concerns like everyone's like what is going on is she

02:40okay is this what she usually isn't looking like so it's a bit like okay is

02:45something different. And touch magazine ran stories claiming that Angelina's six

02:51children Maddox, Pax, Sahara, Shiloh, Vivian and Knox were growing increasingly

02:58uneasy about her condition. According to the publication the family had tried

03:03encouraging her to adopt a more balanced lifestyle. Whether those claims were

03:08based on genuine inside information or simply tabloid chatter is tough to point

03:13out right? Still the notion of Angelina's kids rallying around her added a

03:18sympathetic edge to the narrative. Fans online reacted with supportive messages

03:22hoping that she'd find a path to better well-being. So rumors about her size

03:26though persistent haven't always gone uncontested. So over the years Angelina

03:32has attempted to shut down or clarify some of the swirling myths. She famously

03:36did so following a tough personal chapter that included her mother's

03:40passing. In an interview with Grazia magazine she attributed her change in

03:44appearance to strain. She reminded critics that she just welcomed Shiloh not

03:49too long ago before her mother's passing explaining that her life circumstances

03:53were draining her physically. So she's kind of saying like listen guys I know I

03:58look a bit different but that's just part of life so give her a break come on.

04:02Standing at the epicenter of so much speculation can't be easy. Reports

04:07indicate that while Angelina acknowledges her figure has changed she

04:11insisted she's comfortable in her own skin. One of the biggest frustrations

04:16sources say is the crazy amounts of commentary from the public. She has led

04:19to moments where she expressed annoyance at having to repeatedly address the

04:23subject. Feeling that the constant speculation detracts from meaningful

04:28aspects of her life like her humanitarian initiatives and film

04:32projects which obviously deserve all the praise and people should stop worrying

04:37about her appearance as it's not their concern. While Angelina's younger years

04:42are riddled with eyebrow raising anecdotes some relating to questionable

04:47habits and rebellious behavior one consistent thread has been a willingness

04:51to push yourself. She once described her adolescent persona as edgy the kind of

04:56person who wore unconventional outfits and went towards an artistic expression

05:02that others found unusual. She was never content with a middle-of-the-road image

05:06which might explain why she's comfortable challenging these

05:10traditional standards of how a celebrity should look or act. During her teen and

05:14adult years Angelina's freely admitted that she was going through some dark

05:17times. She mentioned on multiple occasions how she tested personal

05:21boundaries took risks and nearly reached a point where she questioned her own

05:25future. But she emerged from that phase with a fierce sense of independence and

05:30a drive to mold her life on her own terms. Critics suggest that the same

05:34drive could sometimes manifest as a reluctance to adopt certain standard.

05:39Hollywood approaches that wellness and nutrition is usually pushed. For her part

05:45she said she believes in going beyond one's comfort zone though that viewpoint

05:49has occasionally stoked concerns from fans. Angelina's family background also

05:54comes into play. Her father John Voight and her mother Mark Klein-Betren have

05:58long been part of the narrative that shaped her. Mark Klein passed away in her

06:02mid-50s leaving Angelina with sorrow that she often spoke about publicly.

06:07According to many interviews Angelina felt like her mother was more than a

06:11friend and a parental figure. So giving her big love towards her mom it was

06:16definitely hard and she appreciates the freedom she got as a teen and that the

06:21lenient approach may have influenced her to crave this path of hers for the

06:25better or worse. Another angle is that her mom faced problems for many years

06:29prompting Angelina to consider possible inherited concerns of her own. She

06:33underwent preventative medical procedures in her late 30s and early 40s

06:38openly discussing them as an attempt to protect herself. Some have wondered if

06:42the worry over potential illnesses weighed heavily on her physique further

06:47contributing to her reported fluctuations in body composition. Anyone

06:51glancing at paparazzi shots can see that Angelina is frequently accompanied by

06:55her six children often in tow of airports on film sets or humanitarian

07:00visits around the world. Balancing that level of parental responsibility with

07:04film career charitable initiatives and personal aspirations is not easy.

07:08Insiders claim that her day-to-day regime can be intense homeschooling

07:13sessions, major philanthropic visits, interviews, and red carpet appearances

07:18all done in a single week. Like the stress that that comes with is crazy and

07:24the critic says that might be part of why her figure appears so frial. She said

07:29more than once that she compelled to keep going that she feels no choice but

07:32to push through the hectic schedule. Back in 2007 when asked about rumors that

07:36she was unwell Angelina pointed out that she had just had a baby a year prior. She

07:41said her body was recalibrating from childbirth and long nights caring for her

07:45infant. Years later the actress found herself juggling multiple adoptions and

07:50expansions to her family accumulating in the eventual total of six children.

07:54Each arrival introduced new complexities, more scheduling nightmares, more

07:59sleepless nights, and yes more shifts. For someone who may naturally have a slim

08:03build dropping a few pounds here and there can become visibly dramatic which

08:08made everyone so worried. And in September of last year Angelina told

08:12Vogue she felt she was at a pivot point in her life reaching 50 on the horizon.

08:17She's re-evaluating her choices, personality, and daily routine. She admitted

08:22she yearns for a life less intense of public glare that followed her for over

08:28two decades. Whether that means focusing more on directing, philanthropic missions,

08:33or simply spending downtime with her children the star remains guarded about

08:37the exact roadmap but fans hope to see her adopt a slower pace and find

08:42optimism in the fact that she's recognized a longing for change. To be

08:46clear Angelina's apparently fragile look has been a recurring theme for so

08:50long that some argue the tabloids keep rehashing old storylines. They release

08:55intentional headlines like Angie down to 76 pounds or children fear for mom's

09:00well-being partly because these narratives generate clicks. Some

09:04supporters feel that the gossip machine largely overlooks the actresses you know

09:08big help to all these things that are important and her talent for directing

09:14thought-provoking films and even her compassion on global issues. The

09:18conversation often returns to her appearance instead of celebrating her

09:21achievements which many are upset with which obviously makes sense. Whether

09:26Angelina is out exploring foreign cities with her children, filming an intense

09:29scene in a new movie, or attending a gala the camera lenses are never far behind.

09:35That constant scrutiny makes it difficult for any star let alone one so

09:39notoriously private to dispel rumors fully. She's made a career out of

09:42selecting roles that challenge expectations from the rebellious Lisa and

09:46girl interrupted to the regal Maleficent. Off-screen her philatelic missions have

09:53taken her to numerous countries highlighting real-world problems that

09:57overshadow personal drama. Fans who appreciate her humanitarian side often

10:02resent the laser focus on her size seeing it as a tribal compared to the

10:06bigger things she handles daily and in truth the real story might lie somewhere

10:11between tabloid's alarmist claims and the more forgiving angle that she's

10:15simply a natural slim individual under a lot of stress. Angelina herself has

10:20acknowledged hitting rough patches, enduring personal losses, and navigating

10:24intense life changes all which can manifest physically. She's proven that

10:29she has resilience, she's raised a large family, directed complex films, and has

10:33taken on ambassador roles for global causes. With her 50th birthday on the

10:38horizon there's plenty of anticipation about how she'll approach the next phase

10:41of her life. Will she step back from big screen roles to focus on family and

10:45humanitarian projects? Will she return back at full first to directing or maybe

10:50pivot entirely and surprise the world? One thing is certain no matter what path

10:55she chooses a legion of fans and a swarm of people will always be there

10:59analyzing every inch in her silhouette and dissecting every offhand comment she

11:04makes about lifestyle or wellness. But I think we're all here supporting Angelina,

11:08hope she's okay and all the best. And yeah guys let us know what you think

11:13about her life and what you think's next for her. Thanks for watching.
