50 Cent Weight Loss Photos for Things Fall Apart, Truly Shocking!

50 Cent Weight LossRapper 50 Cent has become almost unrecognizable after losing several pounds for a role in the new movie Things Fall Apart.

The shocking photo released on his website has fans worried that the rapper is taking his new role a little too seriously. There’s no denying 50’s dedication to the role of a footballer diagnosed with cancer is commendable but, after losing 54 pounds in a short period of time, the rapper’s health may be at risk.

50 is just one of many actors who have either slimmed down or bulked up for roles. Matt Damon (The Informant) and Jim Carrey (Three Stooges) recently packed on the pounds for their roles in new movies while Tom Hanks (Cast Away) and Christian Bale (The Machinist) became almost skeletal for their legendary parts in hit films.

There’s no denying that 50 Cent looks incredibly different but how far should a person be expected to go to lose or gain weight for a movie role. Is it acceptable to ask someone to put their health at risk for a movie?
