Why is Ariana Grande super thin in this new movie? He looks different,” one concerned fan wrote over the weekend. ‘Did he lose weight for this role in the (evil) movie (sic)?’
Another person wrote that her supposed “weight loss” was “starting to look worryingly extreme,” although Grande has not spoken publicly about her recent weight.

One fan used Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman as an example of why fans shouldn’t comment on Ariana’s figure.
Boseman expressed concern that he may be suffering from an eating disorder or following a dangerous training regimen for his Marvel movies after he was photographed looking emaciated.
However, fans realized that he had been secretly battling cancer after his shocking death was announced.
