4. 50 Cent lost a staggering 54lbs (4st) in just nine weeks for a film role. The hip-hop star went on a liquid-only diet and worked out for three hours a day to achieve the staggering weight loss.

5. Jamie Foxx wore prosthetic eyelids so his eyes would be glued shut for 14 hours on filming days while he played Ray Charles in the movie Ray.
He informed the New York Times that he experienced panic attacks during the first two weeks of filming before he became accustomed to the "unsettling, claustrophobic feeling."
He even shared that cast and crewmates often forgot that he couldn't see, and they'd accidentally "leave him sitting alone at a table after lunch on the assumption that he could get back to the set on his own." sighs

He added, “I’m standing there and they’re running around, and they couldn’t get me out of it. I’m standing there in those chains, right on that hyperventilating edge.”
