50 Cent lost 38 pounds to play Balrog in Street Fighter
A daily routine of boxing, stunt rehearsals and extra training kept 50 Cent in shape for the role
While filming the movie Street Fighter, 50 Cent lost 38 pounds in order to play Balrog.
Every single day while filming on location, he started his day with several boxing sessions. Then he went to stunt rehearsals and filmed his scenes. After that, he underwent massages and chirotherapy, then trained even more with weights and cardio to keep his physique for the film.
Although he's 51 years old, I feel like he did a great job in this movie. I feel like most people thought that casting was unexpected, but he did a good job.
