50 Cent x Things Fall Apart. 50 Cent will star in the Mario VanPeebles produced drama Things Fall Apart where he will play a college football star running back who is stricken with cancer. According to Variety 50 will shed over sixty pounds for the role.
“Fifty is in the process of losing 65 pounds” for the role,” the film’s co-producer, Randall Emmett told Daily Variety.
We would expect this type of dedication for someone maybe like Christian Bale like in American Psycho (corrected: The Machinist), but for 50 Cent to lose that much weight for an acting role just shows his dedication to the art and his desire to be taken as a serious actor and not cast in “rap/thug” stereotypical roles.
Things Fall Apart will be produced under 50′s Cheetah Vision production company and will seek a major film distributor in the coming months. This should be an interesting one and at the least will make for some great publicity for 50 Cent Curtis Jackson the actor. Via: SlashFilm
