Photos of 50 Cent’s Dramatic Weight Loss Revealed

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  86 Comments

Shocking images of 50 Cent’s dramatic weight loss hit the internet today (May 26) via his own Thisis50.com website.

50 dropped the weight for a role in the upcoming film Things Fall Apart in which he plays a football player who’s been diagnosed with cancer. He lost over 50 pounds to get into character.

Over a period of nine weeks the G-Unit general stuck to a strict liquid diet and a three-hour-a-day treadmill walk regimen to drop down to 160 pounds.

“I was starving,” he told Thisis50.com, “I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!”

According to IMDB.com the Queens MC will star alongside Ray Liotta, Mario Van Peebles (who’s also the director) and Lynn Whitfield in the film, coming out next year. —Brooklyne Gipson

    Straight to DVD, LMAO, this dumb nigga.. Loses 100 lbs. to play a role, in a movie that no one will see at the theaters.

    • KLETEWOOD

      He’s a very dedicated actor. HAHA

      No…but serious, he obviously has some sort of makeup on (to cover his tats and make him look all crack-headed and cancerous). I know he had some tats removed…but, there’s no way his arms are tattoo free.

      He look like DMX after a week long bender….

      50 Cents financed the whole film so he will get paid when the film sells. Be careful of calling people dumb asses because you may be one.

    Ok…. It seems that 50 is actually serious about his acting. I respect anyone that master the pain for their craft. Hats off to dude for this. Respect where it is due.

  • http://xxlmag.com the brown

    Yo. This is very impressive. From an artisctic point of view, this is the most impressive accomplishment yet by one, Curtis (…whatever his last name is). This is serious business, I may even check out the movie.

  • fam

    dayumn!!!! no wonder he juices.. that boy got a dome on em! that head is outrageous!!! these pix should be rated r!!!!

  • brand-new

    50 is doing his thing…i give anyone credit who will go through the extreme’s for their craft. fifty is proving to hollywood that he has the dedication to go over and beyond to portray a role for films, and hard work always pays off, so it should be interesting in the years to come to see how big of a splash fif can make in the movie industry.

  • Anonymous

    i hope he’ll getting something good for putting his life in danger like that. I don’t think no grammy is work looking like that. He looks sick

  • http://www.jamal7mile.blogspot.com Jamal7Mile

    After reading some of the comments I gotta add that I also got mad respect for him putting that kind of effort into his acting career. He took that strong arm he use to beef with beefy rappers and applied it to acting. Not the first time either. He wired his mouth shut in the Get Rich movie and I think he had a gold grill put in for Righteous Kill.

    Still, that’s shooting craps with your health. Hollywood don’t give a fuck. Look how fucked up other actors are. Hollywood might be just as dangerous as the rap game is.

      Hollywood might be just as dangerous as the rap game is.

  • sway-z

    It’s called method acting negroes!! The nigga that plays Batman did the same thing right before he got that role, he was like a buck 20. Robert Deniro did the same shit when he gained all that weight for Raging Bull, ya’ll niggas is silly

  • swype-matic

    Wow, there are some dumbasses on this site. Tom Hanks did the same thing for Castaway, and countless other actors have done the same thing. Ya’ll sound like some random haters who have “G-Unot” or “TS” tatted on your lower back. 50 could put out a collabo album w/ Jay-Z & Nas, produced by Dre and Kanye and ya’ll would find some way to hate. Get a life ppl, 50 don’t know none of us.

  • http://www.candidbackshots.com Candid BACKshotS

    in a month or two he’s goin to come back looking like the incredible hulk again.

  • NiborL

    He lost 46 pounds eating nothing but icees! Some may call that dedication but I call it crazy. His buddy Lloyd may want to tell him how dangerous that move was. Besides that, this is a look that is expected to generate a lot of talk considering the fact that he prides himself on his physique. Regaurdless of the role or money the risks these artist take are outragous. The fact that he is eating again is great, lets just hope he hasn’t suffered any longterm damage.

  • Curtis75Black

    I can see homie winning a Oscar before Will Smith. Working for a Oncology center myself,some patients look this way after awhile. Hopefully the script is tight. Good luck 50 pounds.
