3 Celebrities, Including Angelina Jolie, Who Starve Themselves
Posted by
The new issue of Us Weekly reveals that Angelina Jolie starves herself for all the children around the world that suffer from hunger. Jolie, who serves as a U.N. goodwill ambassador, wants to make a statement by going on fasts for the poor children she meets on her trips. The cleanses she does are dramatic, but “that’s how she gets.” Brad Pitt is supposedly very worried about her health as a result of the weird eating habits, but the doctors Angelina visits always tell her she’s just fine.
Many other celebrities have starved themselves before, although none have done it for the good cause Jolie is fighting for. Here are a few stars who have battled eating disorders in the past.
Mary-Kate Olsen
Mary-Kate sought treatment for anorexia in 2004 at the age of 18. She started college soon after her treatment ended and successfully handled the pressure of balancing her health and her workload.
Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie sought treatment in 2006 to figure out “why she’s not been putting on any weight.” Her rep denied that she had an eating disorder, but friends and family believed otherwise after Richie’s weight dropped to about 87 pounds at her lowest point.
