Trailer: 50 Cent Stars in 'Things Fall Apart'
/ 03.09.2011

50 Cent plays cancer-stricken football player Deon Barnes in his new film Things Fall Apart, due out later this year. You may recall the startling photos of a super skinny 50, who lost 54 pounds to take on the role. The drama was directed by Mario Van Peebles and co-stars Ray Liotta and Lynn Whitfield.
“My motivation for the project was my best friend, Charles Pringle,” the rapper-turned-actor previously told staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud. “He lived across the street from me; he actually died of cancer.”
Get a sneak peek of Curtis Jackson tackling his most serious role yet in the “unofficial” trailer.
