50 Cent Loses 50 Pounds for New Movie “Things Fall Apart”

Wednesday, May 26th 2010 | Leave a Comment

Rapper 50 Cent sports a very unusual look in his upcoming movie “Things Fall Apart.” In the movie, 50 plays a college football player who has been stricken with cancer his senior year. The rapper turned actor lost 54 lbs within nine weeks for the role through a combination of three-hour-a-day treadmill exercises and a liquid diet. But is now back on tour and working hard to gain every last pound.

According to 50:

“I was starving. I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!”

50 really outdid himself with this one! But why does he look like one of those alien zombies from I Am Legend? Just saying… LOL!

One more pic of 50 looking sickly after the break…

  • Honeycone

    I think sucessful people let money make them when they become sucessful. When they become sucessful the first thing they say is thanks to GOD. Then when the money start rolling they forget about GOD. It”s his choice what he want to do and I can’t judge. I just hope he had talk to GOD first before he made his decesion. I love 50 cent he’s a smart young man. He know how to make money and I pray that he get back in shape and get his 6 pack back 50 I miss that body take your time and eat healty and pray and let this be your last weight lost. Love You 50.

  • Troy Jackson

  • martha

    what is all this about GOD??? GOD doesnt judge you for earning a career as a MOVIE STAR OR RAPPER!! this is actually a good thing…. ppl dont realize that movies like this are made for those of us who have gone through this… great job 50cent….. CANT WAIT TO SEET THE MOVIE…..

  • Tia Marie

    I agree with the rest of the people on here who is wondering what does god have to do with this? 50 lost the weight for a movie; this was a part of the job requirements he had to fulfill. The same way you go to work everyday and your boss tells you to do something diff that you are not used to do, but you do it because you want to keep ur job. And the bad thing about it is I bet u kiss ass at work for a measly 9 dollars an hour, while he is doing this for a couple mill. So whose the dumb one? 50 I support u 100% and I know u will get ur weight back. I beleive what should be done is 50′s story for this movie (losing weight) should be a national campaign to help obese people lose weight. I mean my goodness he was able to lose 54 pounds in 9 weeks, so just imagine how much good this can be for an obese person. People need to stop finding the negative things to talk about and try to find the positive. 50 can gain his weight back in the same 9 weeks it took him to lose it by having a high carb diet, consuming protein, and working out that’s all. I know I did it in 4 weeks (gained 43 pounds). Get a grip society its time u wake up.

  • Tia Marie

    @martha: Hey hun. I agree with you 100 percent. Like I said people go to work everyday, some for 8 dollars an hour and they do whatever their boss tell them to do. So why should 50 be criticized for making a couple mill? Y should he be criticized for losing weight for his job? Society is so closed-minded its pathetic.

  • hahaha

    Where are all the tattoos?! he just paints them on before he goes out to perform? sounds like a fag to me

  • olori esther

  • RENE NDEBI

    It’s incredible ! It’s the wonderful face of great hearts ! A sense of reality that most human beings are losing. Whoever and whatever this society makes you believe you are, think twice. Because when things come to fall apart, no gender, no color, no level, nothing is taken into consideration. Life is a permanent remake of Titanic.

    ONLY GOD WILL NEVER EVER COME TO LOSE SUCH POUNDS !

  • shedrack reuben
