Crazy, 50 Cent lost 245 kilos per five weeks. Here's what it looks like now.

Reper and actor 50 Cent, who is known for his muscular appearances on the stage, had to lose at least 20 kilos per nine weeks in 2011 for his role in a movie.

In the film “All Things Fall apart”, Curtis Jackson plays the role of an American football player who suffers from cancer, so he should have little weight.

For the needs of the film, he lost weight from 80 pounds [97 kg] to 72.5 pounds [72.5 kg], losing a total of 245 pounds [24.5 kg].

50 Cent described this as one of the most difficult things in his life, having to follow a diet using only fluids and having to run three hours a day. The film project was very important to him, so in no way did he want to give up.

I needed discipline not to be in the physical condition in which I was used to expressing the energy I felt”, said 50 Cent, showing that in difficult times, he restored motivation by thinking about actors who usually increase and lose weight, like Christian Bale.

When it started to get really hard, I looked into the computer to learn from their experiences and I was given the chance to see all the interviews they had given him at different times during promotion of their” projects, Jackson declared.
