Freeze Frame: This Is 50

50 Cent was able to reduce his 214 pounds frame down to a gaunt 160 pounds for a movie role by going on an all liquid diet and taking daily three-hour-a-day walks on a treadmill for nine weeks. In his upcoming film Things Fall Apart the G-Unit general will portray a football player stricken with cancer.

The disconnect I feel from his rap persona by just looking at these pictures is crazy. I’m looking forward to watching his performance when the film drops to see if that same feeling is translated on screen. Check out more flicks over at the Rap Radar mansion.
