50 Cent Loses Weight for Film, Says Robert “Raging Bull” De Niro is an Inspiration!

50 Cent has lost almost 54 pounds (24.5 kg) in preparation for his role in a self-produced, self-financed film named “Things Fall Apart”. The renowned and popular rapper shocked his fans and had critics rapt in amazement at his quick yet almost unregistered loss of weight.



With the publishing of a picture post his weight-loss by the magazine US Weekly, 50 Cent had sent his fans in a tizzy, with his muscle-strapped body being reduced to that of a slim, sickly looking figure. However, the rapper clarified on a recent TV show that his weight loss was not due to sickness, but had been pre-planned.

He explained that taking a cue from famed actors like Robert De Niro in Raging Bull and Christian Bale in The Machinist, he too lost a lot of weight in order to look right for his part in the film he is producing himself.

In the meantime, unconsciously, 50 Cent has initiated a rage among his followers and fans – especially those who have a waistline they are not exactly proud of. Weight loss supplements and exercise regimens used by the rapper are being sought like diamonds in the rough, and it has made a lot of people who idolized the star to initiate their own weight loss programs.

With most other singers or rappers too conscious about their image or health to experiment, this move from the rapper has enamored many of the harshest critics, especially those who had not approved of him making films of late.

Whether his film succeeds is another story, but his weight loss antics have sure inspired hundreds from his legions!
