Via youtube.com
Curtis Jackson, also known by his rapper name 50 Cent, is not just a successful rap artist. He has branched out to businesses and acting, becoming a force in the entertainment business. But in the feature film All Things Fall Apart (2011), Jackson plays a former football player who suffers from a deadly disease. Playing a cancer patient, Jackson had to lose over 50 pounds to play the difficult role. Jackson was determined and spent nearly three hours a day partaking in a liquid diet for nine weeks to drop from 214 pounds down to 160. The character was based on a childhood friend of Jackson’s who died of cancer ,and he was determined to make his character authentic. This was a high quality film. Well done, Jackson.
