Angelababy, Who Weighs Just 45kg, Shocks Viewers By Winning Eating Competition On Variety Show

During the episode, the cast members were treated to a very hearty breakfast. It wasn’t until everyone had finished their meal when the production team informed them that it was actually a competition all along, and that they would be ranked according to how many mouthfuls of food they ate.

Unexpectedly, the winner turned out to be Angelababy, who devoured a whopping 49 mouthfuls of food, or three bowls of wonton soup. In contrast, another female guest, Chinese singer Kyulkyung, ate just five mouthfuls.

When the show aired, netizens flocked to social media to express their shock — and envy — at how the mother-of-one is able to eat so much without putting on weight.

Keyboard warriors reared their ugly heads as well, with some even accusing Angelababy of only pretending to eat so much (seriously, what is with people and their fake eating allegations against female celebs?).

However, it’s been pointed out that there are several pieces of ‘evidence’ suggesting that there was no foul play involved. For instance, she can clearly be seen chewing on camera, and her co-stars also made fun of her for hiccupping, a reaction that supposedly proves that she was actually swallowing her food.

It should be noted that being naturally thin isn’t exactly a bed of roses for Angelababy. She previously revealed that her inability to gain weight is a genetic condition inherited from her mother, and that she has been diagnosed with health issues like anaemia and low blood pressure.

‘Cos of this, she often has to rely on taking vitamins so that she will be in the right physical condition to work.
