Angelina speaks about her weight loss

Angelina Jolie is speaking out about her significant weight loss over the last several months.

At the NYC premiere of A Mighty Heart Wednesday night she told reporters that the reason she’s been shedding pounds is because she’s been grieving over the death of her mother, who died of ovarian cancer in January.

"I've always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I've gone through a lot. I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding – it's been hard to get my nutrition back on track."

Jolie sparked concern among fans earlier this year when her already thin frame grew even smaller and the veins on her arms started protruding. But she insists that vanity is not to blame for her shrinking figure.

"Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it's because I want to fit into skinny jeans. Someone saying to me that I'm thin is not a compliment.”
