3. 50 Cent - All Things Fall Apart
The Commitment: To play football player and cancer sufferer Deon, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson dropped from 214 pounds to 160 in just nine weeks, running his beef off on the treadmill (for three hours a day) and living on a liquid diet in order to best resemble a living, breathing skeleton. The insufferable Candy Shop rapper also had some of his tattoos removed for the film, because it would "save him time in the makeup chair." So, committed
and smart.
The Result: What Fifty thought would be his entry into the acting big-leagues turned out to be a steaming turd, rejected by not just critics, but by everyone. The film is naff and unprofessional, and 50 Cent - despite admirable commitment - is as uncharismatic as ever. You can only be distracted by his gauntness for so long, until you start to realise how awful an actor he really is.
