I saw this pic someplace else. I guess he is getting ready to play a movie role of a football player who has cancer. He must be quite serious about his acting to lose all that weight.
He got his tatoos removed for the role too. From PEOPLE: 50 Cent is erasing some of his past – literally. The rapper – whose real name is Curtis Jackson – has begun removing most of his tattoos. Turns out, that ink is causing a problem as he turns his focus to acting, with roles in the upcoming drama Twelve, costarring Chace Crawford, and the football flick Things Fall Apart, due out next year. "It cuts down on the amount of time I have to spend in makeup covering them up," 50 Cent says about his decision, which he calls "an ongoing process." Still, don't expect him to rid himself of all the ink. His arms may be tattoo free, but 50's vowed to keep a tattoo on his back
That be him. I found a couple of stories on this. He lost around 50lbs for the role. He is now back up to about 185lbs (was 200+) and will stay that way for another movie that will be filmed in New Orleans. He has also had a lot of his tats removed for the role (already mentioned in this thread). I guess he's straight Hollywood now..
I hope it's a good movie and I hope he nails the role. On hater site, they cracked on the movie going straight to DVD.
Daaaaaammmnn Hommmmieee. In High School you were the maaaaan homie, what da fuck happened to you???! Say what you want about his last couple of albums but his first album is CLASSIC
And that's about it. He had a few more hits on 'Beg for Mercy' and 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'. He hasn't been, and will probably never be, the same again. He should stick to acting or something. His music career is done.
