Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are once again making headlines—not for a new film or red carpet appearance, but for what insiders describe as a dangerous race to outdo each other in the looks department.
Both actresses, who share a high-profile history with actor Brad Pitt, are drawing concern for their startlingly thin appearances. Recent photos show the former spouses of Pitt looking gaunt, with spindly arms and pronounced veins, fueling public fears about their health.
Fans question their shocking weight loss
Aniston, 56, was spotted on the set of her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, sporting noticeably thin limbs. Meanwhile, Jolie, 49, revealed a similarly skeletal frame during promotional events for her upcoming film Maria.
The two Hollywood icons have long been rumored to harbor a fierce rivalry, and sources claim their obsession with staying slim has reached worrying extremes.
“They’ve been trying to outshine each other for nearly 20 years,” one insider revealed. “Jen wants Brad to see what he lost, while Angie wants him to regret it.”
The insider added that their ongoing competition is not only about beauty but also about who can appear more glamorous and youthful—even at the cost of their well-being.
Medical expert issues stern warning
Longevity expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who has not treated either star, said both women appear to be paying a high price for staying camera-ready. He explained that yo-yo dieting can lead to a lack of fat under the skin, which causes bulging veins to become visible.
He also warned that being excessively thin can compromise the immune system. According to Mirkin, the lack of body fat reduces the body’s ability to fight off infections and can shorten one’s lifespan.
“Looking that thin may come off as glamorous on screen, but it carries serious health risks,” he said.
While both Aniston and Jolie have publicly promoted healthy lifestyles in the past, their latest appearances suggest otherwise to fans, who’ve voiced concern across social media platforms.
Battle of the exes continues
Aniston and Jolie’s connection to Brad Pitt has remained a subject of media fascination since his split with Aniston in 2005 and his divorce from Jolie in 2016. Even now, it seems the unresolved tension between the two stars lingers—this time manifesting through their physical appearances.
Despite calls for positivity and aging gracefully, their alleged efforts to stay ultra-thin have left many wondering if the pressure to remain relevant is taking a dangerous toll.
As the world watches their ongoing silent feud unfold, fans are left hoping both stars choose health over rivalry before it’s too late.
