50 Cent 'loses 54lbs for film role'


50 Cent lost 54lbs in only nine weeks to prepare for his role in the upcoming film Things Fall Apart.

The rapper will portray a football player who is undergoing treatment for cancer, reports the Daily Mail.

He dropped the weight by following a liquid diet and running on a treadmill for three hours a day, shrinking from 214 pounds to 160 in the two-month period.

"I was starving," he said.

50 Cent has since completed filming and gone back to his normal diet while touring.

He added: "I've been eating. I'll be back in shape in no time!"
