Angelina's Brother Worried About Her Weight
Angelina Jolie's brother, James Haven, says that his sister has lost her famous curves because she is still mourning the death of their mother, who passed away in January.
"Angie has become very thin because she's grieving," Haven told the British publication The Mail on Sunday. "It's even difficult for her to eat. I keep saying to her, 'Don't forget to eat.'"
Marcheline Bertrand provided stability in her children's lives after separating from Jon Voight in 1976, shortly after Jolie's birth. For that reason, her death from cancer at the age of 56, has been devastating to Haven and Jolie, 31.
Last month, Usmagazine.com reported that emotional distress over Bertrand's passing had caused the 5-foot-8 Mr. and Mrs. Smith actress to drop to 109 pounds.
"But you know she doesn't pay much attention to food anyway and she's been going through a process of grief like me," Haven explained. "She has not wanted to eat, nor has she been able to."
Part of the reason for Jolie's loss of appetite may stem from the fact that she associates cooking with her mother's memory.
"There was very much that home feeling when we came back from school," Haven recalled to the Mail. "Angie and I would walk in and comment on how we could smell things cooking and baking in the kitchen.
He continued: "Or she'd be in the middle of cooking and pick up a carrot and teach us about the vegetable or the fruit so that it was visual as well. Angie is now the same with her kids."
Haven, who famously shared a kiss with his sister following her Best Actress Oscar win in 2000 for Girl, Interrupted, says that Bertrand's death has only deepened his connection with Jolie, as well as her bond with her adopted children.
"If Angelina understood something about missing parents before, she understands completely now," he said. "Angelina and I are orphans too, in a way. When you see those kids in orphanages, they cling to each other. And that's exactly what they have -- they have each other."
