Rapper 50 cent has lost a massive amount of weight for an upcoming movie role in the feature film Things Fall Apart. 50 Cent, who is notorious for his stocky, muscular build, dropped from 215 pounds to 160 pounds using a liquid diet (eek) and an obsessive 3-hour-a-day treadmill habit.

more skinny 50 cent after the hop…

50 cent is barely recognizable in the Twitter photos published on his feed today. In his starring role in Things Fall Apart, Fitty plays a college football player diagnosed with cancer. 50 admits he practically starved himself but tells fans not to worry — he’s back on tour now and eating like crazy.

Yikes — aren’t these pictures startling? Do you think 50 cent would make a good actor?
