Holy fuck.

[popdisaster00]

Holy shit, that looks nothing like him.

[kwsqd]

Damn.

Thought this was going to be about the book.

[jwicklun]

damn, props.

[popdisaster00]

My guess is this is his attempt at being taken seriously as an actor.

He's got my attention, at least.

[WakingTheMisery]

He's trying to pull a Christian Bale.

no one can get that skinny. That was too hard to look at.

[Max_123]

that's really him? holy shit lookin' like Dave Chapelle!
cocaine was involved perhaps?

[nlcentralchamps]

Damn.

Thought this was going to be about the book.

Me too. Hated 10th grade english.

[Gaugzilla]

Holy mother. I was just gonna say that this was a great Roots album. 50 Cent looks crazy.

[yayitsjoe]

might see this since it's not about the book.

[RiCCioLi]

Tyron from Chappelle show??

[ace1112]

holy shit that's unbelievable why on earth would he do that

[p93]

Damn.

Thought this was going to be about the book.

Me too. Forced to read it in 9th grade, one of the most depressing reads of my life. Made me wonder why they want kids to read it.

[StrictlyBiznas]

A football player diagnosed with cancer? Brian's Song?

[Echo Park]

Damn.

Thought this was going to be about the book.

damn, what highschools did you two attend that made you have to read that!? I had to read it in college! now im embarrassed about my college education.

[ChaplainTappman]

thought it was either about the book (which in contrast to the rest of you, i thought was excellent) or the roots album. dissapointed at first, but he looks like a completely different person.

[Toothache]

things fall apart is a book about a man in a village in africa, not soccer. maybe some confusion occurred?

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

I don't believe this looks anything like him.

[Guern1ca]

that's really him? holy shit lookin' like Dave Chapelle!
cocaine was involved perhaps?
Idiot.

[a nice person]

that's hard to look it, especially because it doesn't look like him at all IMO. that's gotta be terrible for your health.

[Max_123]

Idiot.
sarcasm bro calm down

[popdisaster00]

he was also in the process of getting all of his tats removed too, i think.

[Neo Cassady]

holy shit that's unbelievable why on earth would he do that

For the same reason that Emile Hirsch dropping to 115 pounds over the course of filming Into the Wild. It has the exact kind of impact that the story hopes to make.

[WakingTheMisery]

but I should have known better.

[WakingTheMisery]

..

For one reason or another I posted the wrong name. I was reading TO's Twitter before that I believe. Haha.

[Max_123]

haha i can definitely see the Ochocinco similarities

[luvsickcatalyst]

Me too. Hated 10th grade english.

Only book I ever read cover to cover for English this year...I have no idea why I did though, awfully dull book.

[maxvsmaradona]

D! M! X!

[broaddplease]

Wow, crazy.

I thought this would be an Okonkwo movie too.

[John is a cult]

first of all, this is crazy, and I'm really excited to see him act, or at least try.
But I really wish this movie was a modern adaptation of the book, and it was gangster Okonkwo.
it would be so good!

[sjb2k1]

thought this was about the book. i remember nothing about it except i had to read it in 9th grade english.

[robcostlow]

He looks like dmx with forehead swelling. He got the magic stick(figure body).

[golferpunk1]

he was also in the process of getting all of his tats removed too, i think.
Yep he said he is removing the all except the one on his back.

[I am Mick]

holy shit

[yellowhouse]

God damn, that's ridiculous.

Someone already said this, but I thought this was going to be an adaptation of the book, which would have been interesting. I don't think I could pass up the chance to see 50 as Okonkwo.

[Clockwork00]

I liked the book. :mellow: And I was disappointed to see that this wasn't about it.
