50 Cent to resume acting career

50 Cent is set to return to acting, having landed a role in a remake of the French-language film ‘13 Tzameti’.

The rapper will appear alongside Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham in the movie, which is called ‘13’ and will be directed by Gela Babluani.

The story is about a man who steals a mysterious package that promises to pay out a fortune, reports Variety.

The film is set to begin shooting on November 17 in New York City.

50, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, previously appeared in Jim Sheridan’s ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ in 2005.

Meanwhile, Jackson yesterday reached a custody agreement with the mother of his son, Marquise.

He will spend one weekend a month with his son. He also gets one month in the summer, half of Marquise's spring and winter recesses, and alternating holidays.
