Jennifer Connellys weight loss explained
Jennifer Connelly just lost a whole bunch of weight, which had some sources speculating that she was unwell, losing weight for her scary Balenciaga campaign, or competing with her He’s Just Not That Into You co-star Jennifer Aniston.
Her husband, Paul Bettany, felt compelled to reveal yesterday that the weight loss was because of grief.
Jennifer Connelly is undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous actresses in Hollywood. But lately, recent reports have focused on Connelly’s sudden weight loss, which have people wondering if the He’s Just Not That Into You star is okay.
At Monday’s 20th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival, Connelly’s husband, British actor Paul Bettany, finally addressed the weight loss rumors.
“I will tell you… My wife just lost her father,” he explained to OK!.
Jennifer lost her father Gerard in September.
Paul Bettany obviously felt the need to defend his wife’s weight loss, which is a bit sad in a way. I guess we can sometimes look at Hollywood stars and think they have these wonderful glamorous lives that aren’t touched by the same tragedies as ours. But the sudden loss of Jett Travolta this week, or Jennifer’s father Gerard, kind of shows us that everyone, no matter how wealthy, famous or intelligent, still lives through the same basic human experience we all do.
Jennifer and her husband Paul are working together on the film Creation, about Charles Darwin. She can be seen currently in The Day the Earth Stood Still, and He’s Just Not That Into You.
