Celine Dion Addresses Concerns Over Her Weight Loss
Celine Dion is speaking out after months of intense criticism regarding what fans and media have called a “shocking weight loss” that has left her looking “scary skinny.” Since January, when Dion revealed her slimmer figure at a Paris fashion show, the 51-year-old singer has faced relentless online scrutiny, according to the International Business Times. Some people have even suggested that Dion might have an eating disorder.
Responding to Criticism at the Start of Her Tour
During the opening night of her Courage tour on September 18 in Quebec City, Dion addressed these concerns backstage in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. When asked about the headlines, she responded confidently, saying, “Is there anything wrong with my body?”
Ballet as the Cause of Her Trimmer Figure
Dion explained that her slimmer appearance is due to her newfound interest in ballet. “I do ballet. I do a lot of stretching, and I work out because it helps my mind, body, and soul,” she shared. She also mentioned that her face was rounder when she was younger due to having more fat, but she emphasized, “I’ve always been very thin.”
Handling Criticism in the Entertainment Industry
Dion acknowledged that criticism is part of being in the spotlight, though she tries to ignore it as much as possible. “If you don’t want to be criticized, you are in the wrong place,” she said. “I take the positive. I take what’s good for me and leave behind what is not. My management handles the rest, and I focus on what feels right for me. You can’t please everybody.”
Reassuring Fans About Her Health
This isn’t the first time Dion has spoken out about her weight loss. In April, she addressed the issue on Good Morning America, again attributing her slimmer figure to her passion for ballet. She reassured her fans, saying, “It’s true that I’m a little thinner. Everything’s fine, nothing’s wrong.”
