Angelina Jolie, as an accomplished actress, shines in world blockbusters, but few know that she has been battling a serious illness for years.
For almost her entire life Angelina holds the title of the most beautiful, and her weight, which has decreased drastically, has been written about constantly. Her noticeable thinness indicated that the actress was struggling with anorexia, and at one point in her life, she weighed only 35 kilograms.
Some members of her family were dying of cancer, and her mother, grandmother, and aunt struggled with the malignancy. In fact, in 2013, the media reported that Angelina underwent a double mastectomy. This procedure implies the removal of one or both breasts, completely or partially, to reduce the risk of cancer.
Two years later, the actress decided to remove both the fallopian tube and ovaries and was never shy about talking about her life decisions. She once told Time magazine how she felt at times when her mother was going through the chemotherapy process.
'I remember once holding my mother's hand while she was receiving treatment. Suddenly her hand turned purple and I had to run to get a nurse. Now there are new ways to identify the drugs best for chemotherapy for each patient, leading to fewer side effects. Although it's still very difficult for the body,' the actress said.
The actress has repeatedly pointed out that she had a special relationship with her mother, who died in 2007 after a long and serious illness. She admitted to the aforementioned magazine:
'I lost my mother when I was 30. Now, looking back, I realize how much her death has changed me. It wasn't a quick process. Gradually, year after year, I began to change. Losing your mother's love is like breaking someone's protective blanket. As I stood in the hospital corridor waiting for my mother's body to be served for cremation, the doctor told me he promised to inform me of my medical options,' she said.
Most of her health problems hit her when she had a crisis in her marriage to Pitt. The turbulent timing and breakdown of the marriage favored the weakening of the Hollywood actress' health. There was growing talk of drastic weight loss and her appearance.
US media reported that the actress weighs only 35 kilograms, and one of her doctors said at the time that she was barely functioning.
'There's almost no subcutaneous fat on her hands. Her cheeks have no fat, which is very upsetting,' he explained.
In 2017, Jolie found that traumatic events from the past, such as a complicated relationship with her father, the death of her mother, and then unsuccessful relationships led to the development of a rare disease.
Bell's palsy is a rare neurological condition that causes muscle weakness. It is a condition that leads to paralysis of the facial and peripheral nerve that is essential for facial mime. Such a condition can lead to lowered eyebrows, inability to close the eyes, and the like.
Angelina developed symptoms and disease and acknowledged that acupuncture affects her health improvement. But fortunately, the actress now feels the symptoms of this disease less and less often.
In addition to Angelina, Sylvester Stallone, Katie Holmes, George Clooney and Pierce Brosnan are also battling this disease.
