    It takes several long stares to comprehend that these photos depict rapper 50 Cent, who once looked like this. In the name of his burgeoning acting career, he removed several tattoos and lost 60 lbs. to play a cancer patient

    I really don't care how much work he does to his body for it, he's still a crap actor....looks more like a Crack head TBH.

    Remaking the Coneheads maybe?

    Looks freaky alright.

    Holy crap, he looks like Dave Chappelle.

    Still, a bit of respect for doing that. Not many rappers would commit to something like that especially when promoting the "tough" image in their music career.

    Still a bit freaky looking, though. :pac:

    Oscar Nom fo sho!

    He must really want to make something of his acting career if he's willing to do that for a role. The realisation that he's not much of a rapper might have infulenced him!:p

    You really have to admire him for this. I have spent much time around cancer patients and he definitely looks like he has had a few sessions of chemotherapy!! And getting his tatoos lazered off?!! Rappers have to uphold a tough image for their reputation. I guess he cares more about acting now than rapping! Go fiddy!

    That is nothing short of pure dedication right there.. Going from being built to looking like a cancer patient.. Gotta give him respect for that, as scary as he looks..

    I've lots of respect for the man. Not just another rap star cashing in on his fame but actually showing some dedication to the art. Could easily have stuck to the crappy comedy roles (ice cube) or the tough guy cop or gangster roles (ll cool j/icey tea).

    I just pray to god that the man can actually act.

    Nuff respect.

    don't see why people think losing weight is a big deal, it's really not hard, at all, especially when you have all the help that comes with being a movie star.

    "50 Cent loses 1/4 of his Body Weight for Movie"

    If he loses much more, all that'll remain will be his massive ego!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 875 ✭✭✭Cookie33


    that's one big forehead

    also it doesn't look like him much


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,016 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Sorry but he looks like he should be in an ad for Concern :p



    Oh well fair play to him

    some info on the film

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606390/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭MrSir


    Respect where it's due that is commitment. He still is a crap actor though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Fair play to him. Would have been so much easier for him to take a fat pay check from another movie looking for a stereotypical gangsta character. Respect +1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭niallon


    So....no I can't say it...ok I will...no...

    ...so...is he now 37.5 Cent then?


    Sorry! :D

    First time for everything, I'd have thought of something more clever to say if Fiddy was really worth the effort, alas he is not!

    Comment from the original link :"I can't believe he went through that much trouble for a movie that's probably going straight to the DVD bin"...
    I watched him in that over hyped film with DeNiro...never again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    Only film I saw him in was Home of the Brave, and he didn't exactly impress me. Mind you he wasn't in it for long so I dont know.
