50 Cent Weight Loss for 'Things Fall Apart'
50 Cent dropped his name's worth for the movie "Things Fall Apart," and a 50+ pounds lighter 50 Cent is almost unrecognizable.The Grammy Award-winning rapper looks to be going for a Oscar-worthy physical transformation with this role, which required him to drop the weight and lose his former muscular frame. He plays a football star who is diagnosed with cancer, and he's definitely achieved a look that resembles a cancer patient.
The star reportedly went on a 9-week liquid diet and spent three hours a day on a treadmill to go from 214 to 160 pounds. As for what he craved while on his strict diet? Chili's baby back ribs, according to US Weekly.
Now that filming has wrapped and he's back on tour, time to get some meat back on his ribs!

wow...now he only looks like about 35 cents.
This is not 50 cent...where are the tats? the eyes and the nose ain't even the same..smh
He got his tattoos removed for movies because he had to show up very early in order to have them covered.
Tweaker status.. he should be able to gain it back tho
he should have do another movie while hes like that where hes a meth addict or something
I think this is absurd! It is an aggression to the body and organism. It would be better to use a stunt, someone weighing less than the singer. This forced diet was totally unnecessary.
Penny for your thoughts .... he looks like he has aids....probably does.....
N I G G E R really looks sick
Looks like one sick N I G G E R to me
He looks like Dave Chapelle a little bit...but 2 cents is not funny at all....
