50 Cent Loses 50 Pounds

If you haven’t seen rapper 50 Cent lately, you might want to check him out. Although, you may not recognize him completely because he done lost 50 pounds. Yes, the rapper does look very sickly, but before you go running off to tell everyone that 50 Cent is probably dying from an incurable disease, you should know that his weight loss was intended. He lost the pounds to play a role in a movie that he wrote. This won’t be a big box office hit, which many folks are criticizing him for, “why do something so drastic for a low-budget DVD film?” He went from a diesel 214 pounds to 160 pounds.
Well, the movie he will be starring in is about a college football player that is fighting cancer. This isn’t the first time an actor has lost a lot of weight or gained a lot of weight in order to play a role in a movie. Will Smith gained a lot to play as Mohammad Ali and then lost a lot of weight in the movie “Seven Pounds”. Then Matt Damon lost weight for “Courage Under Fire” and Christian Bail was thin for “The Machinist”.
It’s not official whether 50 Cent’s movie will hit theaters or not. Fifty Cent has played in a couple of films like “Get Rich or Die Trying” and alongside Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in “Righteous Kill”. So what do you guys think? Do you feel that 50 Cent losing 50 pounds shows enough dedication to want to support the film?
