She’s so vein, she probably thinks this song is about her (veins).
Angelina Jolie has been veiny for as long as she’s been in the public eye. There were a few years – around the time she gained weight to play Lara Croft – where she wasn’t AS veiny as usual, but still… even then, she had some prominent veins on her forearms. For us Angeloonies, we’ve grown to love and accept Angelina’s veins. They are a part of who she is. Some ladies are just veiny. It never really occurred to me that Angelina might have an aesthetic problem with her veins, though. And that’s what The National Enquirer claims now – that Angelina has developed a complex about her veins and she wants to have some kind of vein surgery to “fix” them. VEIN.
ANGELINA JOLIE wants to look as beautiful as possible when she finally walks down the aisle with Brad Pitt this summer – so she’s planning surgery to fix the bulging veins in her arms and hands, sources tell The ENQUIRER.
Mom-of-six Angelina, 38, is secretly planning to wed the 50-year-old big-screen heartthrob after she’s wrapped her latest movie but wants to “tidy up” her appearance first.
“Angie has always had a complex about how her veins jut out, but she never had an incentive to do anything about it until now,” revealed an insider. “She’s chosen a sleeveless gown for her wedding day, and the last thing she wants is to be looking like a freak in the photographs.”
As The ENQUIRER has reported, Jolie’s plummeting weight has sparked health fears for the once-voluptuous “Tomb Raider” star. Angelina underwent a preventive double mastectomy last year and now is said to tip the scales at just 93 pounds. Meanwhile, the skeletal 5-foot-7 star has collapsed twice in recent months, first on a humanitarian trip to Africa and later on the Australian set of her movie “Unbroken,” according to sources.
“Angie could probably fix the problems with her veins herself if she’d just put on some weight, but that’s not an option to her,” said a second source. “She’s so immersed in directing her movie and working such crazy hours that food is the last thing on her mind. I’m sure that if she took the time to bulk up, everything in her life – including the toll all the weight loss has taken on her body – would fall into place. But Angie’s just too busy to eat. She’s also convinced that she needs to stay super-skinny to maintain her sex appeal.
“That leaves her no option but surgery to tidy up those veins.” The source adds that Angelina will get endovenous laser treatment, a simple procedure that about 250,000 Americans undergo every year at a cost ranging from $600 to $3,000.
“The last thing she wants is for it to get worse,” said the second source. “As she jokes to Brad: ‘I’m already vain enough!’”
Yes, it’s a thin-shaming story buried in a vein-shaming story. The Enquirer should win some kind of prize. While I believe that Angelina “forgets to eat” when she’s under stress or really busy, I don’t think she’s even that conscious of it enough to try to correct it. But seeing as how she IS really busy these days as she directs Unbroken in Australia, I don’t see how she has time to A) pick out a wedding gown (much less a strapless gown), B) plan a summer wedding or C) worry about her veins. Long story short, I don’t believe this. Or at least I didn’t until I was looking closely at these photos of Angelina at the Governors Awards in November… she looks notably LESS veiny, right? Is it a lighting trick or did she get vein surgery?

There’s a wedding???
No, there’s not even an engagement, according to Pitt. Just a promise for the future.
There’s no need to snark on their engagement–they’ve barely said a word about it, or their wedding. When they push it in PEOPLE, I will snark away right with you.
@VG: Well said. Atleast Brad and Angelina dont give magazine covers and going on tv shows (their showbusiness friends ones) to discuss their wedding plans and engagement etc. Like you said they didnt even make an official announcement about their engagement nor have they ever given anything away.
And so what if it is a promise for the future? Brad and Angelina have always said they wont marry until gays and lesbians are legally allowed in US. The law came through last June/July and the Jolie-Pitts have kept their promise.
*snickers at Kaiser* that was the song I started singing when I read the tagline.
I’m so sure she cares about the veins being show-y, I think her veins only show when she’s exerting herself. Ridiculous story.
Ridiculous story? I’ll give you a ridiculous yet true story. It’s my 6 degree of seperation with Jolie which is actually only 1 degree.
I used to date this soap opera actor from One Life to Live, he did a little movie with Angelina back in 1996 called”Love is all there is.” In the movie were a couple of light love scenes. So I would brag to my friends that I literally kissed the lips that kissed Angie. That’s my little Angelina Jolie story.
Good story!
Did you date Al Holden – er, I mean – Nathaniel Marston?!
Yeah, I looked that up. Don’t judge me! But that’s a seriously awesome story.
ha, I would have done the same, awesome
Yes it was Nathaniel Marston we dated back in 2003.
Just googled him V4Real—I admire your taste. Hot AND tall, bonus for me.
Is that even possible?? Vein surgery I know for the ones in your legs they put dye or something but never thought about those in the arm I would be a bit worried/afraid. Also WHAT wedding not that I really care either way to be honest
They only do that surgery to varicose veins in legs, veins which valves don’t work properly anymore. Thing is with that, that over time, other veins have taken over the job to get the blood flowing to the heart.
Angelina’s veins in her arms are still very healthy and do their job properly. No back up veins so to say. So it would probably be a risky surgery for her. Personally I think she is too smart and too aware and grateful of her health to risk it.
I’m late to this party, but wow you’ve nailed it Jessibes.
And I can’t see this woman who has taken preventative steps to remove possible future health issues so that she can be there for her family to risk it for such a vain procedure. And honestly, for all we know they could likely be married right now, but aren’t wearing rings for privacy reasons. This article is dumb.
You don’t zap the veins you have fat injections or fillers

How the hell does a person just forget to eat? My stomach never fails to let me know when its empty. I get not having time to sit down and eat a meal or just not getting hungry because you have other things on your mind, but really, eating a snack or sandwich on the go doesn’t exactly take any time.
Well it’s happened to me before. Sometimes people don’t get the same signals from their body that they are hungry and they don’t realize that they’ve missed mealtime until they are actually eating.
I knew someone who had trouble telling the difference between feeling hungry, feeling thirsty, and needing to pee. For some reason, her body was just really confused about sensations coming from her general gut area.
And I can forget to eat. Last night, I didn’t feel hungry at all, but whoo-hoo, I was a GROUCH. I felt better after dinner, so clearly I did need to eat, but my body wasn’t telling me that.
I spend many days too busy to stop and eat. I try to get some protein in the AM but even that isn’t always doable – when I have the chance to settle down it’s often too late for a proper meal. I imagine it’s easier for those who work at a desk or are at home.
This is another ridiculous story from NE. They love “medical” stories. It’s like they have the great granddaughter of Dr. Mengele on staff and she conjures up weird maladies for celebs she dislikes. Or likes. Kaiser, why do you even bother with these? I’d rather see more fashion threads or even, god forbid, sports. LOL!
Eh, it also depends on your schedule. My mom is going to school full time, while also working—she often only eats dinner, because she always is forgetting to eat. So I can imagine that with everything AJ does (I know she has nannies/teachers), I can get that she probably forgets to eat if she’s really busy. Plus, she has a hard time putting on weight, so that makes it worse. I knew a girl in high school who was exactly like AJ—it was so bad that she had to stop being a vegetarian and go back to eating meat because she kept losing weight too fast (and she doesn’t play any sports or anything like that).
But even snacking on the go isn’t a long term solution, especially if you’re going to be that busy for two or three months solid, you’ll still lose weight.
Forgetting to eat happens, it’s down to your biochemistry really. I lose my appetite and can survive on very little when I’m stressed or busy and won’t notice til I feel faint. It’s hard when your trying to work to a deadline to make time a conscious time for food (which you obviously should, but its difficult!!)
If I am very busy and practically running on adrenaline all day, I will forget to eat. It’s been 4 or 5 o clock before I stop going and my body finally catches up, saying hey it’s time to eat. It’s not healthy or ideal, but it can happen.
I think it snowballs too. I’ve had periods of time where I’ve been too busy to eat, and then suddenly I notice I’m not that hungry in general anymore. It’s as if my appetite adapts to having less food.
Unless she has horrible body image issues (possible), I can’t imagine she stays this weight “to maintain her sex appeal,” like the article says. Skeletal is not sexy. I think she just can’t put the weight back on right now.
I forget to eat some days. Recently I was running errands and was about to head home when I got that lovely shaking, faint feeling. I had to stop and get something to eat which I didn’t want to do so close to dinner. But yea, completely forgot.
Quite easy.
I don’t know what is it about me – maybe all that steroids (I’ve had asthma since early age) messed up my hormones. or something like this, but I don’t ever feel hungry.
I’m not skinny though – I like the taste of food way too much.
I also don’t ever feel full, just physically stuffed, when my stomach and my abs start to argue, sometimes.
This creates a lot of problems. Like, I don’t get the slow/fast carbs difference: why wouldn’t I want to eat in for hours if i eat this now?
And any sort of eating healthy is difficult as hell. I’ve had this hilarious conversation with my trainer: she was trying to tell me what to start and what to stop eating, and I was trying to tell her that I do not eat food I don’t like tasting, because what’s the point? If you can’t eat tasty stuff, why eat at all? In my case this is not a hyperbole, this is what my body is telling me.
The year I got scary skinny I often felt weak and exhausted, my teeth went to shit, by brain went slow, but hunger? Nope.
jae
I have had asthma since I was 2 years old. Nebulizer 3 times a day at my worst and today i’m never without my rescue inhaler and flovent. I never thought about how steroids would screw up my appetite or hormones. It’s an interesting thought.
And I think Jayda/Jaida (spelling?) Smith is the same as you. She doesn’t care or crave the taste of food. She eats it purely for nutrients. I can’t imagine that, but I wouldn’t call either of you liars because I don’t operate the same.
And personally if I am too busy to eat for most of a day while being active I reach a point of no return. An empty stomach starts to feel calming for me and the thought of eating food makes me feel and become sick. Probably why it’s so easy for me to sink into a weight that puts me in as clinically anorexic. I have to carry protein powder and bottles on me to not slip back.
And at the rate Angelina is churning out movies, research, UN work, family stuff, I bet it’s easy for her to do the same.
I don’t buy this story at all. I don’t think she cares about her veins. We all know she doesn’t care about food, either. Lol.
She would look great if she put on 5-10 lbs. The thinness is aging her.
yeah, it’s painfull to look at her. Hope she’ll take care of herself.
Her face looks like a skull with skin stretched over it. She is not well.
Yep…she is no longer easy on the eyes. *wince*
Actually she’s been the same size for the last 10 years, see here: http://www.look.co.uk/pictures/cannes-film-festival-84-iconic-moments/angelina-jolie-wearing-a-yellow-dress-by-emanuel-ungaro-at-the-cannes-film-festi
Complete with veiny arms, she was most beautiful then and still is…and she’s still the highest paid actress of 2013, an Oscar winner and 2 time Oscar nominee, the biggest movie star in the world and she makes you look like a monkey’s butt…anuston, is that you?
Why this is bullshite: Angie said she loves her veins and her scars. Angie said she’s not keen on being skinny it’s just her body type..so I doubt she’d exert any effort to stay skinny for the film work, especially when she turns down coveted film roles handed to her on a silver platter way more than she accepts them. Also it’s equally unbelievable angie would feel she needs to tidy up her appearance for a wedding she 1)may have had already and 2) if she hasn’t had a ceremony yet, never felt was needed to begin with. Everyone knows it’s never been her that needed to get hitched.
It’s weird the tabloids are trying to make Angelina, the girl that has scars and got tatted up long before it was cool for every starlet and back when it could have hurt her casting opps( and a woman who recently had major surgery and cancer on her mind..In between directing and saving the world…now vane enough to care what people think about her arms. When has she ever cared what people think? She’s not neurotic Jennifer aniston who collapses in sorrow when Kim Stewart calls her homely.lol
Angelina doesn’t give a fc.
Whoa, Blanche – that post is just full of delusions.
Agreed.
This has got to be a slow time for gossip. Jennifer Aniston walks in on a 10 year old movie and Angelina has veiny arms.
Please someone famous come blazing out of the closet, get caught mini coopering, or do something only a famous person can get away with.
Oh, and regarding this – I don’t believe it. Angelina strikes me as not caring about her arm veins.
Exactly.. There is such a need to paint her as some superficial woman. Nothing about her screams that. She is not giving interviews about her hair, make up or whatever. I would however love for her to tell what she does for a skin care routine.
she never talks about those things and really she is not asked about them. She is interesting outside her looks. And she has had those veins for years years. She had them when she and Brad met; when they became a couple; kids, and 9 years later why in the hell would she all of a sudden care. She doesn’t hid her arms.
so yes Angie doesn’t give a F*** and she won’t be issuing any denials about this dumb story either. I love that about her. Let people say and think whatever they want. Live your life on your terms and do what you want.
+100000 lol
Careful what you wish for, the Bieber dramz is coming!!
The minicoopering was probably the only time I’ve ever been shocked by a piece of gossip–but then again, I shouldn’t have been. Leading up to that, Kristen had been giving a ton of bs interviews about how real, true, and genuine she was, how she was an artiste, and how she wanted something to f-ck her over, as her life was too boring. Well, she got what she wanted, big time.
I remember going on CB, after not having internet for a week and going WHAT! and just laughed. It was so bad of me. I just sat there and laughed so hard, that my uncle came to see what was wrong with me.
I’m giggling now, remembering it.
Regarding Kristen Stewart. I have it on good authority that something will be breaking in a few months that will shock you for the second time. I’m neutral on the girl, but for people that live to hate her, they won’t take it well. Its gonna be good. Popping corn now.
Lol. There hasn’t been a good mini-coopering story in a while.
Oh please. With all the important things to worry about in her life, her arm veins are top priority? Lol.
A bunch of hooey. The NE gets some things right but this is not one of them.
Ha! Is this an attempt to be fair? Jennifer Aniston caught a case of the sads when she walked in on people watching Mr. & Mrs. Smith, but, not to worry…. Angelina has visible arm veins.
It seems her breasts are bigger now than before.
Definitely.
Fire the torpedoes & full speed ahead!
Padding or boob job? Not in a snide way either – I’ve not kept up on how she’s dealt with her double mastectomy.
If you’re judging by the top pic of her walking with the kids, that’s an old picture.
Like I said below then you haven’t seen Angie’s picture of recent. This is AJ from two weeks ago pictures were taken 7th of january and as you can see her breast has finally settled
http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/3024379/angelina-jolie-luna-park-fun-with-the-kids-06/ and this. http://www.popsugar.com/Angelina-Jolie-Her-Kids-Luna-Park-Sydney-33359715. And as usual Cecila is here with nothing but negativity towards Brad and Angie 🙂 😉
That top picture is just a few months old.
LMAO! I doubt Angelina gives two effs about her arm veins.
Stupid story.
I agree.
Ridiculous story (and quite nasty as well..).
Spare me. She walks red carpets and doesn’t worry about it. Her arms will be holding flowers. There will be no veins showing. And there’s always photoshop. These rags just take pictures and make up stories nonstop.
I will say the photos I saw of Angie on the Daily Mail shooting her new movie, she looks painfully thin. She’s always been slender, but she’s even thinner. I’m sure directing a movie, and only her second, is very stressful and busy, but she needs to put on a few pounds for sure. She just doesn’t look good. She’s beautiful no matter what, but she is looking too thin and a her face drawn.
I don’t think we can assume she would be holding flowers based on her last two weddings.
I picture a wedding that’ll either be at their Chateau, or in Mama and Papa Pitt’s backyard, with a loose, sack-y white dress that looks like a sarong.
How’s your pregnancy going?
No kidding, but I remember an interview when she was younger, pre-Brad, where she was asked her favorite part of her body (I think the interviewers was trying to get her to say her lips) and she answered that it was the veins in her arms. I have no idea where it is from, but I vividly remember this.
Oh, I remember it too! I’m glad someone else does. That interview was actually the sole reason I started learning to embrace my own veiny arms. Now it’s a turn-on!
She’s ALSO on record saying she loves the vein in her forehead that pops up when she’s mad.
sorry, but thats a bit weird. Maybe she has a thing for blood or something
Just add 15 pounds. Thats all it would take. Just eat cheesecake every day for an entire week and her vein problem will be cured.
in other news, whatever happened to them taking a break and hanging out with their kids? they
Damn. Those boobs are WAYYY too big.
She could get rid of some of those veins if she just ate more *sigh*. WTF is vein surgery anyway?
Then you haven’t seen Angie’s picture of recent. This is AJ from two weeks ago pictures were taken 7th of january and as you can see her breast has finally settled 🙂
http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/3024379/angelina-jolie-luna-park-fun-with-the-kids-06/ and this. http://www.popsugar.com/Angelina-Jolie-Her-Kids-Luna-Park-Sydney-33359715.
Oh they have settled, good for her! They look great!
Yes they have! And she looks as refreshing as ever 🙂
And it also proves that Angie didn’t “size-up” as some have said. She’s the same size as she was before her surgeries.
She looks really good—her boobs look amazing, she looks like she gained a little weight to soften her up…..
Edit.
Hilarious! Thanks for saying “vein” so many times! 🙂
I actually don’t think AJ cares much about her “sex appeal” anymore. I think she’s moved beyond that, and her children, humanitarian work, and directing are more important now than hoping some random men watching her movies or seeing her on the red carpet think she’s “hot”.
I totally agree with this. She and Brad aren’t just about the way they look. They make an effort for their professional obligations but it’s not their raison d’etre. Brad seems to have made a real decision to leave pretty boy roles behind and Angelina definately does not do the glam mom/milf thing when she’s out with her kids.
That might be disappointing for some fans but there it is.
I just hope she gets rid of the nude ballet flats……
Other than that, I can’t talk about how she dresses, because I know that that’s ME right now. I don’t like picking out clothes all that much–if I’m just at the house, forget it. I often wear pajama pants and tshirts all day, and if I leave the house for something, then I’ll put on jeans. Other than that, you can’t pry me away from my fleece 😉
Well, I guess this story can be expected since five stories down there’s a Aniston thread on her “freak out” when seeing a screening of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
What’s that algebraic equation again?…What you do to one side, you must do to the other.
I think they got it wrong. It wasn’t a screening of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Jen saw and freaked out over. It was a screening of Meet The Millers; she finally realized that was a horrible movie.
@ V4Real
ZIIIIING!!! Lol
Ha, ha–you’re right! It was THAT bad…….the only funny person was the kid with the weird eyebrows.
hey, hey, hey now V4, they were screening Along Came Polly and she realized the ferret stole the show. (she has made A LOT of stinkers)
Ha ha ha! Win!
As someone with veiny hands and wrists, I can vouch for the fact that temperature makes a big difference to how big they appear.
When it’s hot out, especially if I’m doing something active, the veins pop out. So if it was cool at the Governors Awards and Ms. Jolie was mostly sitting still, that might explain the less prominent veins.
I also always thought it had to do with how active you were–more oxygen in the blood?
My twin started football camp last August–he had to go to school for practice for about four hours a day, and he had to ride his bike 7 miles there and back—within a few days, veins in his feet started popping up. And I’m not talking about one or two, he had at least five on each foot coming up.
I don’t believe she would just forget to eat. She underwent major surgery to prevent a future health problem but she would endanger her health by not taking a few minutes to eat something?
Oh Doutzen…I totally agree. Her actions are contradictory.
No Cecilia Angelina’s actions are not contradictory because you know have any evidence that she is starving.
Just one sincere question – dont you ever get tired with the constant thin shaming and fat shaming someone like the way you do with Brad and Angelina?
Wow Cecilia you are on a rampage today aren’t you dear! You need to take it easy
And how is AJ’s action contradictory did she ever come out to say she sometimes forget to eat? And AJ’s dr deemed if fit for her to be healthy for her operation! Smh for you. You really do need to chill dear
Lmoa at the idea that Cecilia is ‘on a rampage’. Utterly ridiculous statement.
Spinner must have a quota.
Guys give Cecilla a break. We all have our celebs who we love to hate. Paltrow comes to mind for me.
LOL right? People expect sunshine and roses comments on one celeb they like but they find no problems at bashing other celebs… All fair in love and war so if Cecilia wants to give a different opinion so be it. *shrug*
True. It’s fun to read the wildly different reactions to posts.
Story is BS .Their pics of her yesterday in a tank top veins still prominent.If she had issues with her arms she would cover them like I cover my flabby arms.
Love her…that is all
Does Angelina Jolie want to get surgery on her arm veins before the wedding?
……and, what if she does?
I really don’t get the fuss over A.Jolie’s weight.
The truth is that Jolie has a lolipop body shape and has always been very slim.
Remember ‘Girl Interupted’ and ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ when she was still her natural blonde and even in ‘Original Sin’.
Her slimness is old news.
*Lolipops like her,Uma Thurman,Marissa Miller,Adriana Lima and heather Graham- even Kate Upton- are naturally slim with a tendency to be slimer. Moreover they have long thin limbs,broad shoulders and slight hips,all of which can make someone appear slimmer than they are. The only big feature on them is their boobs and their wide waist.
My best friend is a lolipop and she is skinny,always has been. Once ,she forced herself to gain weight but ended up looking SERIOUSLY bloated in the tummy with a bigger bra size while the rest of her remained almost the same.
I bet A.Jolie is the same.
This vein news is false imo because is a well-known fact that Jolie doesn’t give a crap about her appearance that much. I mean,how many times have we seen her with sleeveless tops? Countless. If she truely was perplexed about it she would be covering it up.
I know as women we all have insecurities. I don’t see her veins as a big deal and it’s a story from Enquirer.
I highly doubt the veins would really be an issue for her wedding if they are not an issue for any red carpet, awards show or high-profile event she attends and at which she is photographed.
Vanity?
This story sounds false to me.
I’ve seen Jolie in many outfits that exposed her arms, especially since her weight loss after her mom’s sad passing. If she was so concerned about her veins protruding, I doubt that she would be wearing clothes that do not cover her arms.
I agree with my husband that she has a stunning and beautiful bone structure of the face that looks like the very talented Michelangelo sculpted. Her body on other hand is not attractive, mostly skin and bone that makes her look unhealthy and older than she really is.
If she would gain 20 pounds, she would be a gorgeous, curvy bombshell, she is tall enough to carry it nicely.
I don’t believe that she forgets to eat, because she gets too busy or stressed in life.
This is a highly intelligent and brave woman who did significant research in finding out what is the best way to deal with her genetic family issue, she consulted experts and did her own research as Brad Pitt mentioned in the interview I’ve seen. She seems well aware of what healthy lifestyle means and it’s certainly not just surgery.
I think she is this thin, because she chooses to be.
I have always been skinny and I’m also 5’8 tall, so I’m very considerate of eating often during the day doesn’t matter how crazy my schedule is, so I don’t start looking like a victim of starvation.
She has plenty of money and a lot of help to hand her a zip loc bag full of nuts or some organic dark chocolate or a sandwich or a cup of yoghurt or a banana.
How long does it take to eat a banana, chocolate bar or a muffin, seriously???
There is no need to sit down to a three course meal.
How many people have time for that in today’s busy world and without the resources she has?

If she thinks that being super skinny keeps her sex appeal, she needs to know that she was the sexiest during Tomb Raider, when she had more muscle and fat on her body.
I hope she gains weight positively rather than has surgery, but she does look less veiny in those bottom pictures.
I think a hysterectomy would be more on Angie’s mind than having her arm veins removed. I doubt (if there is a wedding) that Angelina could give a damn about people seeing her arm veins.
Well… I think my own arm veins are sexy, so.
She seems like such a lovely, intelligent, kind and good hearted woman. Angelina also seems like a great mom. I don’t think she cares about her protruding veins or she would avoid wearing clothes that expose them. To me she looks way too skinny, unhealthy skinny, actually her face looks like the skin has been pulled over her skull very, very thight. A least 15 pounds would make her look so much better.
Yeah, what with all the things she has been doing to avoid cancer I bet she worries full time about her veins. And if she doesn’t want them to show she can wear sleeves. Seems a little simpler than surgery.
I so wish she would gain weight. I always think about the fact of the camera adding weight gain, so in person she must really be skeletal. It really detracts from her beauty.
One thing I had heard though, is that when she gains weight it goes straight to her waist and stomach. She says if she let her weight go she would definitely be an apple, a weight distribution the doctors say is unhealthy.
Angelina would have to hire a personal trainer, because she needs to gain muscle, if she just gains fat then it’ll go to her stomach (like when she was pregnant) and butt—which I did read an interview, on the Dailymail, from a trainer (who was extremely hot and had some lovely mankini pics available) who was talking about her. He’s been hired to advise her on fitness and nutrition….while she’s filming ‘Unbroken’.
So she is trying to address her weight…..
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2536780/Angelina-Jolie-hires-Australian-personal-trainer.html
@VG: I think this personal trainer was for the actors in the movie. They had to lose weight rapidly and then gain it again in as healthy way as possible.
Having said that – I would love it if Angelina also used the trainer to gain more weight and come back to her looking like she did in Alexander/Mr & Mrs Smith era.
He might be working with them too–but it specifically quotes him as working with her.
I think as she gets older, she’ll gain more weight—remember her mom? Same as her, a beanpole until she hit middle age–but she still looked really young. Like I thought she was in her early forties at the most, when she was in her fifties–probably all that clean living.
But it would take a lot of work to get her back to that weight, or even Tomb Raider weight. I saw this interview with the guy who trained her for Tomb Raider (he’s a famous celeb trainer)—he had her eating a high protein diet, and she was working out HARD for at least three hours a day, almost every day for months before she even did the movie.
That is such good news if she is really consulting a nutritionist. Maybe he can direct her to a healthier way of eating. The way I understand it from her comments is that she just isn’t interested in food and forgets to eat for long periods when she is busy. I don’t see how that is possible when she has six kids who eat regularly, but I also heard that she feels guilt for all the food we waste in the US when so many are starving. Either way, her relationship to food is messed up. I don’t see how she stays on an even keel emotionally when she is so beyond thin. I lost a bunch of weight one time, I was way under a healthy weight for me and I felt like an emotional time bomb all the time for no reason whatsoever. Gained the weight back and the emo disappeared.
I also don’t see how she stays as busy as she does when she is so undernourished. I know she has always been thin and that is her baseline but for the last few years she has looked flat undernourished. And she has to be even skinnier in real life as the camera blah, blah, blah. I just think she would feel so much better if she gained even ten pounds of healthy muscle weight. Maybe this trainer can talk to her about how to do that without expanding her waistline and she’ll follow his instructions. Everyone says she’ll gain weight in middle age but she’s pushing 40 and I sure don’t see any signs of it.
One thing for sure, she has been seeing lots of doctors this year and if she was unhealthy as she looks they’d be ringing a peal over her head. But with all the stress how could she eat more? Maybe next year…….I just wish her and her family the best.
Oh, man, the body terrorism against women in the public eye is truly sickening.
@Ann–I get your point, but please reconsider calling it terrorism. Even with ‘body’ as a descriptor.
I know terrorism and this isn’t it. This is just opinions and bitchiness.
She’s hired a local (Australian) personal trainer to ‘advise her on fitness and nutrition’, while she’s filming ‘Unbroken’.
It says in the article (and it was taken from an interview that he did for the Sydney Harold) that her diet would include fresh fruit, vegetables, sustainable meats, and ‘free range products’.
For exercising, the trainer has his clients do swimming, surfing, beach runs and strength training.
So she is addressing her weight, in a very healthy way.

Good for her. You should post this every time someone comments on her weight. The way some people go on about her weight, they should be quite relieved. Of course, most of those comments are dripping with troll-concern, so this will not be welcome news.
This is hysterical. Like she’d have invasive surgery rather than just wear evening gloves. Or gain five pounds.
Just gain some healthy weight.
Thank you @V4real for leading me to the previously unknown film, ‘Love Is All There Is’. Had a good wiki peek and was delighted to see some good old ‘serious’ artists associated with it. Ha ha ha ha!
I believe she just put on some weight between the first photo and the last ones (also she kind of turn her arms the other side). I don’t believe this story at all, but even if it was true I woulnd’t be shocked. Angie is an actress, so of course she’s vain so I wouldn’t be surprised if she did or plans to do the surgery.
Also if she’s self-conscious about it we just have to give our thanks to the press, who continues to bodyshames-women.
