50 CENT - 50 CENT'S BODY ART

50 CENT'S BODY ART

50 Cent says he got so fat while on the road, he had to draw his muscles on to give him a more defined physique.

50 Cent used to draw his muscles on.

The 'Candy Shop' rocker was ashamed about his physique when he piled on the pounds on the road so used cosmetics to look more defined.

He said: "In 2005 I was about 15 pounds heavier. I had to draw my muscles on. I got fat while I was doing the tour."

50 - real name Curtis Jackson - is not the only star to use make-up tricks to give himself a better body.

It was previously claimed that 'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson used cosmetics and clever lighting to appear more muscular.

A source said: "Robert had a team of make-up artists working on his stomach to make it appear as if he had a six-pack.

"They used all their tricks - including liquid body paint, shading and airbrushing - to make his torso look toned. Whenever they stopped filming, Robert would duck back inside to get touched up by the make-up team.

"The lighting team helped as well, creating the perfect way to accentuate the shading and highlights."
