50 Cent did an extreme and unhealthy amount of weight loss for the role in All Things Fall Apart. The rapper who became an actor lost more than 50 pounds within nine weeks through a diet of only liquids, most of which were protein shakes, with small servings of food. He also underwent extreme cardio to burn off calories as quickly as possible. The extreme weight loss was significant to his character as that of a football player in a battle with cancer.
