Jolie's bulging veins draw attention

Actress Angelina Jolie, in Tokyo for the weekend opening of action thriller "Salt,'' brushed off rumors about her shaky relations with Brad Pitt, AP reported.

"He was just a wonderful father," she said Tuesday of Pitt, during work on the film, in which she plays a tough spy. He often brought the children to the set, she recalled.

Pitt and Jolie have been partners since they began a relationship while working on the 2005 film ``Mr. & Mrs. Smith.'' They are raising six children.

Jolie arrived in Seoul on Tuesday night to promote the film.

In the meantime, the pictures of the 34-year-old actress in Japan are drawing attention from fans due to their showing of bulging veins in her arms, hands and even fingers.

 

Experts blame her too much exercise without a proper diet for the bulging veins in her arms and wrists, according to news reports.

 

They reportedly said they probably resulted from working out while not eating enough.

 

Jolie is known as a fitness fanatic.
