Rapper 50 Cent lost almost 4 stone in nine weeks to prepare for his role in the forthcoming film 'Things Fall Apart'.
The rapper dropped 54lbs in order to portray a football player who is undergoing treatment for cancer.
He lost the weight by running on a treadmill for three hours a day, and survived on a liquid diet.
He commented on the weight loss on his Twitter page, where he also posted photos of himself looking gaunt: "I lost 54lb for it. I was starving."
However, he went on to say that he has gone back to his normal diet while touring: "I've been eating. I'll be back in shape in no time!"
