50 Cent Loses 54 Pounds For Movie Role‎

Inspired by a pal who died of cancer, 50 Cent penned and stars in Things Fall Apart, a flick about a football player stricken with the disease.

"I lost 54 pounds for it," the 6-foot rapper, 34 --- who dropped from 214 pounds to an astonishing 160 with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for nine weeks -- tells Us Weekly. "I was starving."

Now he's back on tour and says, "I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!"
