The rapper looked skin and bones after slashing his weight by 54 pounds (eish!) with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks

50 Cent has regained almost all the weight he lost for a film role.

The 'In Da Club' rapper - who shed an enormous amount of weight in just nine weeks for his part in 'Things Fall Apart' - has found it easy to put the weight back on and has been gorging himself on high calorie foods.

He explained: "It's the art of eating. The no complex route. It seems everything that is fun is no good for you. I had different things I don't usually have in my diet to put the weight back".

He continued: "I'm now 210lbs. I was a little fat boy, but I'm back at the gym. At my maximum weight  I was 214".

In the movie, 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - plays an American football player diagnosed with cancer and he slashed his weight from 214 pounds to an astonishing 160 with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for the role.

Shocking pictures posted on his website were captioned with the details of his weight loss.

The caption read: "50 Cent lost a lot of weight for his upcoming movie 'Things Fall Apart'. In the movie 50 Cent plays a football player diagnosed with cancer".

The 'Candy Shop' hitmaker can't wait until the movie comes out because he thinks his performance is fantastic.

He said: "I think the film project is going to be great, not just the transformation and the weight loss but my performance in itself. I'm excited to see it".

No date for when we can see the movie...
