Not only did he star in the film, but he also co-produced it.
He is particularly recognized for his role as Kanan Stark in the Starz crime-drama “Power.”
His real name is Curtis Jackson III.
He burst onto the music scene with his debut album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” released under Eminem’s Shady Records.
As a Grammy and Emmy winner, 50 Cent has established a highly successful career.
He continues to challenge himself with various projects, as seen in resurfaced photos from one of his earlier movies.
The movie, titled “Things Fall Apart,” features 50 Cent as Deon.
Deon is an American football running back who dreams of playing in the NFL after a successful college career.
This diagnosis turns his life upside down, destroying his dreams of a football career.
In the film, Deon struggles with cancer and comes to terms with his altered future.
The late Ray Liotta also stars in the film.
However, the main talking point about the movie is the significant amount of weight 50 Cent lost to play the role, without the need for any CGI.
He followed this regimen for nine weeks, a method reminiscent of Christian Bale’s preparation for “The Machinist,” where Bale lost 63lbs (28.5kg).
Although this is slightly less than Bale’s weight-loss record, it is still a staggering achievement.
Upon seeing the transformation, it’s hard to believe that it’s the ’21 Questions’ rapper in the photos.
The multi-millionaire rapper is usually known for his buff, muscular body.
He often performs shirtless and is best known for appearing shirtless and upside down in the ‘In Da Club’ music video.
Jackson quickly addressed these rumors, stating at the time: “I was starving.”
“I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!”
Before filming the 2011 flick, the hip-hop artist revealed he had some tattoos removed. He pursued a more serious acting career.
“My call time is four hours before the regular acting talent because of the tattoos.”
His critically acclaimed and popular TV series “Power” (2014-2020) demonstrated his acting ability.
It firmly placed respect on his name in the acting world.
