People still can’t believe 50 Cent’s extreme transformation is actually real

    Fans of rap legend 50 Cent are stunned by the dramatic transformation he underwent for a 2011 movie in which he starred and co-produced.

    The ‘In Da Club’ star is best known for his music but has also built a notable acting career, particularly through his role as Kanan Stark on the Starz crime drama Power.

    Born Curtis Jackson III, the rapper made a splash with his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ under Eminem’s Shady Records.

    The Grammy and Emmy winner has established a highly successful career and continues to push boundaries with his projects, as highlighted by recently resurfaced photos from one of his past films.

    In Things Fall Apart, 50 Cent portrayed Deon, an American football running back with dreams of going pro and playing in the NFL after excelling at the college level.
