50 Cent: ‘Weight Loss Was Difficult’

50 CentRAPPER 50 Cent has opened up about his shocking weight loss — admitting it got “really difficult” towards the end.

The star went from 214 pounds to a slender — and bony — 160 pounds for a film role. 50 lost the weight with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for nine weeks.

“Towards the end it was really difficult,” said the In Da Club hitmaker, whose real name is Curtis Jackson.

“It was like, if I don’t get close enough to what my best friend looked like to me at that point before he passed, then I’m not doing the story any justice.

“I just didn’t want to go because I had to match the look in my mind. I was so into what I was doing that I wasn’t really concerned with that.

“I just kept looking at myself in the mirror feeling like I have to be smaller.”

Jackson revealed that when he was shot in the mouth in 2000, he faced a similar liquid-only diet and saw his weight dip to 157 pounds.

“This time it was a lot tougher for me,” 50 said. “I had to discipline myself not … to actually have myself be in the physical state to convey the energy I felt. It’s a passion project for me.

    Wow, he sure look sickly and different in that picture. But I do find that losing weight on the treadmill is great for anyone especially walking/running on it every day for 15 to 30 minutes.
