Rapper 50 Cent, renowned for his successful music career, underwent a dramatic physical transformation for a movie role.
The rapper reportedly lost 24 kilograms for the role. However, despite his efforts, the film remained unseen and failed to attract audiences.
During the shocking revelation, fans observed 50 Cent's appearance in an obscure film
In a bold move for his acting career, 50 Cent shed a remarkable 24kg for a role in the 2010 film "All Things Fall Apart." Despite the film's disappointing reception, 50 Cent's commitment to the role was undeniable.
The rapper followed an extreme liquid diet for nine weeks to achieve the drastic weight loss, documenting his journey on social media. Despite concerns from fans about his health, 50 Cent remained focused on his passion project.
In an interview with the Associated Press at the time, 50 Cent revealed the difficulties he faced in losing weight for his role. He said: “This time it was a lot tougher for me. I had to discipline myself not … to actually have myself be in the physical state to convey the energy I felt.
“It’s a passion project for me.”
He added: “I actually got on the computer. When it started getting difficult, I was looking to see what their experience was like and I got a chance to see all of the interviews they had at different time periods when they were doing promotion for the projects.”
Unfortunately, despite 50 Cent's dedication, the film received scathing reviews from critics.
Many criticized his performance and the overall quality of the production, leading to its straight-to-DVD release after a lukewarm premiere.

On person said: This is the essence. I applaud him and I only respect him even more. Not hitting the gym for three weeks because of a flu is a big problem for me. I can’t imagine losing that much muscle mass and gaining it all back…for „fun“. 50 is a mental beast!
