A frightening amount of rappers want to get into acting, but 50 Cent might be the first among them to pull the true thespian's move and lose a bunch of weight for a movie. After basically playing himself in Get Rich or Die Tryin' and Before I Self Destruct and teaming with Jessica Biel for the "message" flick Home of the Brave, 50 Cent is poised to lose sixty-five pounds to play a college football player who suffers from cancer "and faces a lot of tragedy in life." Maybe one of those tragedies is being thirty-four years old and still being in college. [Real Talk NY]
