Actress Angelina Jolie has attributed her dramatic weight loss to the death of her mother.
The Hollywood star has been pictured looking worryingly thin in recent months. But she said observers were wrong to include her in the size zero trend.
"Someone saying to me that I'm thin is not a compliment," Jolie told the Evening Standard.
"I've always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I've gone through a lot. I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding - it's been hard to get my nutrition back on track.
"Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it's because I want to fit into skinny jeans."
Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died from cancer in January.
In the interview, Jolie also talked about her family life with Brad Pitt. The 32-year-old actress has three adopted children and a fourth by Pitt.
She has not ruled out new additions to the family. And the star of A Mighty Heart revealed that the couple are helping to support other disadvantaged children.
"There are certain kids on the periphery that we want to help through school, whose lives we are starting to be involved in as well," she said.
"In our home it is all about how much we balance making sure that everybody has individual time, and right now four of them have very special individual time. We never want to have so many kids that we can't do that."
