6. 50 Cent
You might not expect 50 Cent to show up on a list that should essentially be called, “Actors so crazy they’ll risk death for a part” but here he is. In 2011, the rapper and actor dropped 54 pounds for his role in All Things Fall Apart to play a star running back diagnosed with cancer in his senior year of college. While the film released to only middling reviews, the performer’s dedication to the part is still noteworthy.
