Rapper Curtis James Jackson III aka 50 Cent has lost a tremendous amount of weight and is basically unrecognizable in new pictures posted on his official website, ThisIs50, on Wednesday (May 26) – more shocking pictures below.

The 34 year-old revealed that he had to drop from 214 pounds to 160 (OMG!) with a liquid diet and 3-hour treadmill walks for nine weeks to play a football player diagnosed with cancer in his upcoming movie “Things Fall Apart”.

Is Fiddy really inside that body? Shocking! And wow! Is 50 Cent getting ready for an Oscar? 50 Cent says, “I was starving. I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!”
