New York, Mar 11 (ANI): Curtis James Jackson a.k.a. 50 Cent, who stars in a movie about a cancer-stricken footballer, is seen looking very gaunt in an unofficial trailer for the film, after he lost 54 pounds to play the role.
50 Cent, 35, stars as a high school football player who has dreams of joining the Miami Dolphins, only to learn he has cancer, in the movie 'Things Fall Apart'.
In the trailer, his weight lost is very much noticed, as he is shown as a buff football player with dreadlocks in some scenes and in others as a skinny, sweaty shivering patient on a hospital bed.
The rapper, who normally tips the scales at 214 pounds, shocked his fans last May after he released a photo of himself at a frail 160 pounds after going on a liquid diet and spending three hours a day on the treadmill for nine weeks.
"I was starving," the New York Daily News quoted him as having written on his official website, thisis50.com, at the time.
And besides losing weight, 50 Cent also removed his arm tattoos for the role. (ANI)
