From beefcake to severe disease
For his role in All Things Fall Apart the rapper had to lose a significant amount of weight. This is because he played a talented American Football player, who has to drastically revise his dreams and goals in life after he’s diagnosed with cancer. ‘Fitty’ lost about 24 kilos for the role. He also got rid of the tattoos on his arms. “It saves the makeup team a lot of time”, he said about this. This originally started with the movie Twelve. “With my tattoos, I had to be on set four hours before other people did, so we could hide them with makeup”. Eventually, this led to Jackson having his tattoos removed.
