When I heard that
Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson had lowered his weight down to a ribcage-baring 160 pounds for his role in an upcoming film, I was more than a little intrigued. Up until that point Jacksons only form of suffering in relation to his art had been devoting gratuitous amounts of time to his Twitter account, and now he was suddenly going method? It was difficult to take this sort of news seriously when faced with tweeted vignettes such as "my grandma pregnant again trying to talk her out of keeping it". Unsurprisingly, my initial doubts concerning Mr Cents' future as a serious actor appear to have been confirmed. The first trailer for the film has dropped and, aside from the aforementioned notable physical transformation of its lead actor, it looks like something that would appear on True Movies. Or Channel Five. Either way, my Nan would
love it. I bet at the end he overcomes his illness, finds his soul mate and scores the winning touchdown. Blimey, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm5f97tK8v4
