Angelina Jolie’s recent appearance at the Tony Awards on June 16 has sparked significant concern regarding her health.
The 49-year-old actress, known for her roles in films such as Salt and Maleficent, wore a strapless ruched gown that revealed her extremely thin arms and shoulders, causing alarm among her fans and close associates.
Jolie’s frail appearance has intensified worries about her well-being. According to RadarOnline.com, those close to her are urging her to maintain a healthy diet, particularly given her demanding schedule as both a mother and an actress.
Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a Florida-based longevity expert who has not personally treated Jolie, voiced his concerns about her health. He speculated that Jolie might already be suffering from osteoporosis, a condition characterized by brittle bones. “She has severe loss of body fat, which is almost always associated with severe loss of muscle and bone,” Dr. Mirkin observed.
He estimated that the 5-foot-7 actress likely weighs less than 100 pounds and recommended a bone density x-ray to confirm osteoporosis, followed by appropriate medication and resistance exercise.
Jolie’s health struggles have been compounded by stress from ongoing legal disputes with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. Recently, she lost a legal battle over non-disclosure agreements related to their French winery, Château Miraval, as reported by RadarOnline.com. This added stress could be contributing to her significant weight loss.
In 2013, Jolie publicly disclosed her positive test for the BRCA1 gene mutation, which increased her risk of breast and ovarian cancer. To mitigate these risks, she underwent a preventative double mastectomy and a full hysterectomy. Dr. Mirkin noted that the resulting estrogen deprivation could accelerate bone loss, further impacting her health.
The combination of her health battles, demanding lifestyle, and legal stress appears to be taking a toll on Jolie, prompting concerns from those around her and the public.
