I've Been Frightened Today

What awful cause of nature would cause 50 Cent to look this miserable. My first thoughts were, "Is he ill?", "Has he got an eating disorder we didn't know of?" until I read the caption beneath the image which read:

The rapper turned actor lost an incredible 54 pounds for new film Things Fall Apart, in which he plays a terminal cancer patient, and the usually muscular star was keen to show off his new slimline look by posting photos on his blog.

Wow, Curtis Jackson id really taking his acting seriously. Even employing techniques from method actors. I have to say, I'm quite impressed. But that sullen look on his face and the washed out grey quality of this image had me worried for a second I must admit that.
