“Things Fall Apart” for 50 Cent
What would you do for a starring role in a movie? That’s the question that everyone should be asking. Well apparently
50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson III had no problem with answering that question. He dropped from 214 pounds to an astonishing 160 for his upcoming role in “Things Fall Apart”. In the movie 50 Cent plays a football player that’s diagnosed with cancer.
Now I know that 50’s playing a cancer patient but his physical appearance is very disturbing. The rapper turned part-time actor was on a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for nine weeks. Talk about crash dieting…this is crazy. 50 Cent states, “I was starving”. Um ya think? If this is what starving looks like… I’ll be damned! He only took off close to 60 pounds but he looks like shit. I can only hope that this was a role of a lifetime and that Curtis’ performance wins him an award, and I’m not talking independent film festivals. I’m talking NAACP, Oscars, etc. Otherwise we’ll have to chalk this up to a sad learning experience.
A healthy 50 looks like this…
The good news is that he’s actually back on tour now and working hard on packing on the pounds. So I’m sure he’ll be back to his super buff self in no time. 50’s telling his fans, “I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!”. I sure do hope so because a healthy 50 is so much more appealing than a sick 50.

When I saw the picture of “50″ for the first time I was like WTH!…He took this opportuntity to really commit to the character and go all-out. Kudos, to him…I pray that his heart was not effected by the drastic weight loss and I hope that “Things Fall Apart” receives a “Precious” response!
