What a fantastic world to live in where being lackluster at something makes you millions of dollars. I guess that's how much of Hollywood works, but 50 Cent makes a fortune being subpar at several things. He's a lame rapper. He's a lame actor. He's a lame clothing designer. He's even a lame gangster. Yet, somehow he's financially successful at each of these things.
Curtis Jackson hopes to bring his mediocre acting skills to something that's already mediocre: the romantic comedy. Talking to Glamour, the rapper expressed his interest in starring in a rom-com. "I'd do a romantic comedy if I liked the script," he said. "But it has to be believable and I have to feel I can bring the character to life." Imagine that. 50 Cent in The Proposal as Sandra Bullock's assistant. I'd be all over that.
What exactly 50 means by "believable" isn't clear. He could either mean a hopeless romantic dude that sells drugs and smokes a bunch of weed while getting shot in the face, or, the more interesting option, a realistic male character with an egotistical personality who's trying to find love while juggling his public persona with his private one. If someone can get 50 to the play the latter, I'd be the first one to buy a ticket. Unfortunately, it's far more likely that we'd get the former.
