Ok this is an old story but after listening to the Howard Stern Show interview that happened to come on with 50 Cent, Howard of course brought up this incident and I thought it was pretty humorous and thought I'd post about it here.
Now there is never a good reason to attack another actor at work (well some times maybe there could be), but this should be a good lesson to any actors about breaking the "rules" on set. Never get so comfortable that you bypass the producer, the director confront a co-star about his work, unless it is constructive and is about the work itself. Yes, learning your lines is in fact about work, but if an actor is not working out, that conversation should be for the director and that actor. Sometimes, a director is the only one on set that can make a certain actor respond anyway, so how about you let him do his job? If not, maybe the following could happen:
'Rapper 50 Cent attacked a co-star on the set of his new movie "Righteous Kill," according to reports.
The hip-hop star -- real name Curtis Jackson -- allegedly got into a "heated argument" with actor Frank John Hughes after he confronted Jackson about not knowing his lines.
The altercation reportedly was so fierce, production staff called for paramedic's assistance.
A source tells MediaTakeOut.com, "Frank tried to correct (50 Cent) and he got really upset. ... Before it was all over (50 Cent) had Frank on the ground pummeling him.
'The paramedics looked at Frank and he's OK. It's everyone else here that's still shaken up. ....'"
