50 Cent Talks About Dramatic Weight Loss on 'The View' (VIDEO)

If you saw a picture of 50 Cent a while back, you were probably stunned by the way he looked. That's if you recognized him at all, as the two pictures on the right show.

The singer/actor was on 'The View' (weekday mornings on ABC) talking about his new look. He wasn't sick or anything like that, he actually lost the weight for a new movie, and got the rapid weight loss following the same plan as Robert DeNiro did for 'Raging Bull' and Christian Bale did for 'The Machinist.'

That's a pretty dramatic weight loss. If you didn't know who it was you'd think it was two different people.
