Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that develops when a person is starving for a long time in order to lose weight. Its main danger is that the sick person can no longer stop oneself which brings to complete physical exhaustion.
Joy-pup.com decided to find out which of the stars suffered from this disease, who seems to have it and who couldn’t pull through and don’t even want to recognize it.
Angelina Jolie
One of the most beautiful women in the world is called a scrag from time to time. And the actress herself admits the weight loss that was caused by stressful divorce and child custody proceedings. Her weight fell to 40 kg, and some tabloids published an even more terrible number of 34 kg!
Jolie forgot to eat, and if she ate, it was a snack of berries and nuts. Now the actress is trying to change her diet and devotes time to boxing and yoga.
Angelina has another strange phobia, she can’t eat in public, because the paparazzi can take a picture of her at any time. Therefore, she almost never eats anything outside the house.
Nevertheless, at the presentation of the last film about the wicked sorceress, Maleficent, the actress was glowing and rested.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham is so often accused of being too thin that one store even decided to advertise its pizza, claiming that their crusts are thinner than the former pop star. Victoria wasn’t silent on the matter and sued.
Earlier, Beckham described her struggle with anorexia and bulimia in detail in her book “Learning to fly”.
“In the gym, while doing an exercise, instead of thinking about my posture or position, I was checking if my double chin had diminished,” she wrote.
In her book, Victoria encourages girls to learn to love their flaws, use less makeup and not experiment with breasts. If to talk about her eating habits, the woman eats fruit for breakfast, has sushi and green juice for lunch, and usually has dinner with her family in the restaurant.
Earlier, Beckham was accused of advertising clothes of her brand on too thin models. After all, the question remains open. Is the celebrity obsessed with her weight or not?
Mary-Kate Olsen
In a much publicized battle with anorexia, the world watched Mary-Kate exhausting herself to the moment when she looked like a skeleton. In 2004, Olsen applied to the treatment center because of nutrition problems, but there were rumors about drug taking.
Due to the hectic schedule and constant stress, Mary-Kate Olsen’s weight dropped to 35 pounds (15 kg!). She was in extreme need when she started the treatment. According to doctors, if she consulted later, everything could end tragically.
Lady Gaga
A famous singer and actress Lady Gaga became anorexia and bulimia victim at the age of 15, when the future owner of the Grammy and Oscar was just starting her career.
On a page titled “Body Revolution 2013,” Gaga posted an image in her underwear and wrote “Bulimia and Anorexia at 15”. She continued taking photos of herself from different angles, adding: “But today I am joining the BODY REVOLUTION. I inspire courage. ” Photos were followed by hundreds of comments and similar images from fans.
Gaga thanked the fans for loving her no matter what, and being good judges of true beauty and compassion.
“To all the girls who think they’re ugly because they aren’t XS, I want to say that you are beauty No. 1. This society is ugly. ”
Tara Reid
The best is the enemy of the good. This saying is suitable for Tara, the beauty from “American Pie”, who, in pursuit of a flawless figure, still can’t get over anorexia.
According to Tara, she is completely satisfied with her figure and the photos show that she feels free to demonstrate it. The 43-year-old actress recently claimed that she had never suffered from anorexia, and she was tired of people who are always concerned about her food.
“I don’t suffer from anorexia. I have never had anorexia and I don’t have an eating disorder … I’m just thin, ” that’s what she told Daily Mail.
Amy Winehouse
Apart from alcohol and drug addiction, the British singer Amy Winehouse had intestinal issues. Anorexia greatly changed the appearance of the celebrity, turning her from a sexy and extraordinary singer Amy into her exhausted shadow.
Unfortunately, because of alcoholism the singer’s life ended very early, at the age of 27. She was one of the famous people who didn’t live up to 40.
Jared Leto
Jared Leto won the Academy Award for “Best Supporting Actor” for his heartbreaking character as an HIV-positive transgender woman in the film “Dallas Buyers Club”.
His extreme weight loss was recorded by fashion photographer Terry Richardson. On his website, Terry shared shocking photos of Jared and his skeleton instead of a corpus.
Jared Leto admitted that it was incredibly hard to stop eating, but he lost his pounds.
Amal Clooney
Amal prefers to eat fish or seafood and even looks like a thin herring with her too thin hands, a haggard face and size even smaller than XS. Since the birth of the twins, George Clooney’s wife has been on a strict diet, although she weighs 49 kg with a height of 1 meter 74 cm. With a BMI (body mass index) of slightly less than 16, she has a reduced weight, which is almost deadly!
Despite the expected divorce and strained relations with her husband, Amal Clooney kept to her fish diet for almost a year. She has seaweed soup for breakfast, fish for lunch and dinner, while hummus with whole grain cracker is the only exception. She walks about an hour a day, sometimes training with weights or doing Pilates. We can’t help but wonder how she gets strength and energy for children?
Christian Bale
Christian Bale had always been in a good physical shape, but in 2004, he stroke the audience all of a heap when he lost almost 30 kg for his role in the psychological thriller “The Machinist”. He says that all he ate was a can of tuna and an apple. He smoked, read for 10 hours, and slept only 2 hours a day. He didn’t have any emotional leaps, but on the contrary, we can say that the actor gained insight into Zen.
“This is an incredible experience. When you are so thin that you can hardly climb the stairs… you are like a creature with a pure thought. It’s like you left your body. ”
Interestingly, six months after the filming, Bale had to work on gaining weight for the movie “Batman Begins”, and in 2010, repeat his critical weight loss experience for the movie “The Fighter”
Keira Knightley
It turns out that Keira’s grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from anorexia, but the actress herself claims that she has never had this disease. Rumors that Knightley has suffered from anorexia have been haunting her for years, but the star has got accustomed to this, claiming that in Hollywood you should be ready for increased attention to the body.
The actress attributes her slender figure to good genes and a fast metabolism, as she isn’t an expert in healthy eating and fitness. Knightley jokes: “The very thought of diet makes me want crisps and ice cream, I just hate going to the gym. The biggest exercise I’m doing is turning on the TV. ”
Madonna
In 2010, the singer and actress was suspected of anorexia and bulimia.
Madonna keeps to a very strict macrobiotic diet, which restricts from wheat, eggs, meat and dairy products and extols the benefits of what is called “sea vegetables.” Also, due to Madonna’s character, she’s always in movement, she trains a lot and works hard to remain the main Pop Diva.
Celine Dion
The 51-year-old star is often trolled on Twitter due to her emaciation. Even when Celine visited Paris Fashion Week in 2018, commentators were more interested in her weight than her clothes. She was called thin and weak and people were worried about the celebrity’s health condition.But she replied that her appearance satisfies her completely:
“I do it for myself. I want to feel strong, beautiful, feminine, cruel and sexy. ”
What do you think?
Candice Swanepoel
Her shockingly slender figure aroused the excitement of fans when the girl appeared at the presentation of Victoria’s Secret swimwear in the spring of 2011. The South African model insisted: “I am healthy and happy.”
Candice explained her leanness with diet, workouts, and a busy schedule.
It is worth noting that more and more details about the harsh working conditions in the eminent brand have come up in recent years. Victoria’s Secret is even called the “circus of competitive anorexia.” For the smallest weight gain, the models are actually forced to stop eating, and also receive a reprimand. One of the brand’s ex-angels admitted that psychological pressure at work quickly grew into anorexia, which the girl fought against for four years.
Macaulay Culkin
Photos of the painfully thin Macaulay Culkin that were published in 2012 caused a series of rumors about anorexia and a return to drugs. The former famous kid was photographed during a walk, and he looked incredibly exhausted due to sunken cheeks on his face.
After he grew up and stopped being the most famous child of all time, Macaulay went through tough times: disruption in relationships with parents, drug addiction and arrest, the death of his sister Dakota, a scandal over friendship with Michael Jackson and, finally, a break-up with Mila Kunis. But for now, fans of the actors can stop worrying. He looks cheerful and fresh, is busy in new projects and, it seems, has got a new passion, Brenda Song.
Donatella and Allegra Versace
The murder of Gianni Versace was a double shot for his niece Allegra. The girl lost her beloved uncle, inherited 50% of his fashion empire (about $ 800 million), but it became more of a burden on her.
Due to the hype around her personality, the girl began to lose weight more and more every year, and her family consulted the best specialists to help her overcome anorexia. Allegra actually stopped eating as soon as she saw the news about herself in the press. She hates Los Angeles, the media and public life, preferring loneliness and socializing with her family.
The girl’s mother Donatella Versace also mutilated herself due to drug use and a great passion for plastic surgery.
Matthew McConaughey
He lost 17 kg for the role of the AIDS patient, which earned him the title of best actor and the Oscar award. McConaughey had to temporarily give up on a sexy and bulked up body that you can admire in the movie “Magic Mike.”
The actor tried to quickly lose kilograms with the help of cardio, but he admits that 90% of the weight loss depended on food and serving size.
Sarah Jessica Parker
The star of “Sex and the City” was especially criticized for her too muscular arms.
Since her first appearance on the screens, the woman’s thinness was numerously discussed because she looked too slender even for Hollywood. Whenever Jessica is asked how she kept the American zero size in her years, the actress attributes this to “genetics”. Also, the main weapon of the star is everyday training and lots of walks in New York.
Tori Spelling
The star of the youth series “Beverly Hills 90210” had often been in a public eye, as the media discussed the actress’ big breasts, in stark contrast from the general thinness. It turned out that such physique was not the limit for Tori. After giving birth of two babies, the woman began to quickly lose weight and almost refused to eat. As we can see, the result of the experiment was extremely disappointing.
Now on the contrary, the actress together with her children is accused of being overweight.
Lily-Rose Depp
The 20-year-old daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis admitted that she had suffered from anorexia, and that critical comments on social networks about her appearance depressed her.
“It’s very painful and depressing, because I spent a lot of energy fighting the disease. I was very young when I encountered anorexia, it was very difficult for me to cope with it. Everyone who is familiar with this problem knows how difficult it is to return to normal. ”
However, Lily-Rose showed extraordinary perseverance in the fight against the disease, was able to overcome it and is very proud of the results.
