Ariana Grande caused fans to worry due to her painfully thin appearance
During the promotional tour for the movie "Wicked," the 31-year-old artist showcased looks inspired by the style of Audrey Hepburn, an icon of old Hollywood. However, instead of admiration, fans expressed concern about the star's frail thinness, reports Dailymail.
Audrey Hepburn, whose fragility was a result of a difficult childhood during World War II, never considered her body to be an ideal. Directors and biographers of the actress have repeatedly emphasized that her thinness was a result of tragedy, not something to emulate. Ariana's appearance at the movie premieres in Los Angeles and London sparked extensive discussion online. Her sharp facial features, protruding bones, and unnaturally thin waist were clearly visible in photos and videos.
Social media users noted that the star looks exhausted and unhealthy. Medical experts warn that such thinness can be a sign of serious health issues, such as malnutrition or metabolic disorders. Zoomboola.com reminds that "Wicked" (where she played Glinda the Good Witch from the Land of Oz) is not the only film in the singer's collection.
She first showcased her acting talent in her teenage years by participating in the Broadway musical "13" by Jason Robert Brown. Critics praised the young talent, and the National Youth Theatre Association even awarded her a prestigious prize.
Participating in such a large project required significant sacrifices from Ariana. She had to leave her studies at North Broward Preparatory School and switch to homeschooling, studying with tutors on an individual program.
Ariana's debut attracted the attention of directors. After the musical, she successfully starred in the series "Victorious," the spin-off sitcom "Sam & Cat," the project "Scream Queens," as well as the movies "The Swindle" and "Zoolander 2."
Alongside this, she released successful music albums, earning numerous awards and accolades.
