Dangerous trend sparked by Angelina Jolie’s appearance
Angelina Jolie’s visibly popping veins and ultra-thin figure have fueled an unsettling trend on social media.
Her health and weight have been longstanding topics of speculation, and her recent appearances have reignited fears about a potential eating disorder.
Under the YouTube videos of Jolie's interaction with fans to promote 'Maria', fans are sharing extreme dieting tips, including dehydration and starvation methods, in an effort to mimic her appearance.
"I love Angelina's bulging veins look. How do I get that for me?" one user commented while another wrote, "Why is her veins popping like that?"
"You need to strip back the body fat, work out loads, but don't hydrate much. This will bring the veins to the surface. She looks amazing!" an individual suggested, and someone remarked, “Vein popping is so sexy. Lose the fat to free the veins.”

Angelina Jolie on loneliness and solitude amid personal struggles

"I have my children I love, but as an adult, I'm often alone. I find myself identifying with the solitude and loneliness [Callas] had," she shared.
Reflecting on her life after her divorce from Pitt, Jolie revealed, "I also haven't quite figured out how to live life in a way where I'm on my own."
"Maybe a lot of artists feel that we're in an open space as a person. We don't quite settle. So it leaves us in a strange way sometimes," she noted.
The toll of Angelina Jolie’s ongoing divorce battle
Angelina Jolie’s tumultuous split from Brad Pitt, now eight years in the making, continues to play out publicly.
The divorce, which includes ongoing custody disputes and financial settlements, is set to reach a courtroom showdown in 2025.

Sources suggest she has taken to wearing all black, symbolizing her mourning of "creeping solitude" in her life, according to Radar Online.
Adding to her introspection, Jolie reportedly feels the weight of the approaching 20th anniversary of her initial romance with Pitt.
