50 Cent shocks fans after shedding four stone for film role

50 Cent has shocked his fans after shedding four stone for his new role playing a cancer stricken American footballer in his film Things Fall Apart.

The hip hop megastar who also wrote the movie has revealed he went on a liquid-only diet and trained for three hours a day on the treadmill to shed his muscle.

The astonishing pictures of a gaunt looking Fiddy were posted on his official website and sparked health concerns.

The emaciated rapper said, “I lost 54 pounds for this film. I was starving.”

Fiddy is now back on tour and is happy to be back on the solids, “I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time.”
