Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who is known for not only his legendary mic skills but also for his chiseled physique, has a whole new look these days. The rapper has lost an incredible amount for weight for his upcoming role in Mario Van Peebles’ upcoming football flick, ‘Things Fall Apart’.

The rapper dropped 54 pounds to star as a football player who discovers he has cancer. “He went from 214 pounds to an astonishing 160 with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for nine weeks.” he tells Us Weekly. 50 is co-producing the film with Randall Emmett, his partner in Cheetah Vision Films. The film also features Ray Liotta, Lynn Whitefield and Steve Eastin.
