Photos of 50 Cent recently surfaced on the web, featuring the rapper 54 pounds skinnier. The new physique was for his upcoming film, 'Things Fall Apart,' about a football player who succumbs to cancer. According to Us Weekly, 50 Cent spent nine weeks on a systematic plan of only liquids and three-hour-a-day treadmill sessions. Drastic weight-loss seems to have become a Hollywood trend over the years when taking on new roles, such as Tom Hanks in 'Philadelphia' and more recently Christian Bale in 'The Machinist.'
The rapper is currently on tour, and more recent photos reveal that he is back to his normal weight, which is around 214 pounds. For more details on 50 Cent's weight loss and other music news, refer to the links below.
