Doesn’t 50 Cent remind you of a terminally ill sick person? Well that’s what he’s trying to portray in his new movie. And I must say he is dedicated!

50 Cent dropped 50 pounds to play a cancer-stricken football player in a new movie called “Things Fall Apart”.

According to MTV News the starving rapper lost the weight on a liquid diet and daily three-hour treadmill sessions.

But not to worry, he has already started gaining back his weight in order to kick off his tour that starts Friday (May 27).

The picture taken by Us Weekly proves that he really takes his acting career seriously. We’re going to have to see how Ja Rule measures up in his new movie “I’m In Love With A Church Girl”.
