Jennifer Connelly's Husband Explains Her Dramatic Weight Loss

Jennifer Connelly has been looking alarmingly thin lately, but husband Paul Bettany tells OK! Magazine her dramatic weight loss is the result of stress.
When reporters asked Paul about his wife's thin frame at the 20th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival on Monday, he responded, “I will tell you…My wife just lost her father.”
Maybe Jennifer could sit down and have a chat with Angelina? When Angie dropped a bunch of weight in late 2007 she attributed it to the passing of her mother, so we're sure the gals would have plenty to talk about!
Is this just an excuse we've heard before or is there something else going on here?

I dont know Jennifer or Angie personally so I cant speak to thier situation (although many do anyway which is funny) but I can say I lost both my parents to cancer within 5 yrs of each other and I can tell you I lost ALOT of weight in a small amount of time and didnt realize it until I saw pictures and the numbness of grief started to thaw. It does happen. Some eat and some of us stop especially if you are VERY close to your parent and I was. It was the worst heartbreak ever. Many times it's the combination of the death combined with family stress. IF it's true my heart goes out to her.
This kind of weight loss, I'm talking skeletal, is NOT normal. Skipping meals, loss of appetite, is normal. But you lose excess pounds from that. When you get this thin, you need help. Grief may be and excuse, but not the reason.
too bad she did not lose some of the eyebrows.
I'll assume since you dont me you are referring to Jennifer. My grief was hardly an excuse. I'll also assume you have watched someone you love dearly die slowly helpless to do anything. I agree there are probaly other extenuating circumstances no one except those close to her or Angie are privy to and are not in a position to judge.
