Jolie’s weight loss is due to grief

Angelina Jolie has admitted that her recent weight loss is due to the death of her mother.

Angelina’s mom Marcheline Bertrand passed away earlier this year. She suffered from ovarian cancer.

Actress is steadfast that her slim figure is a result of grief, not a concern of her appearance.

Jolie told Grazia magazine: “I have always been lean and this year I lost my mother and I’ve gone through a lot.

“The thing that’s disturbing is that instead of people saying, ‘This looks like a person that’s actually dealing with something, probably from emotions’, they say, ‘Does she fit into skinny jeans and look thin?’

“I want people to understand who I am as a person is not somebody that’s trying to look thin, but just trying to work through a very difficult year.”
