Jason

ICONIC rapper 50 Cent and actor Jason Momoa look totally different after undergoing major makeovers as part of their impending movie roles.

They have both undergone transformations for the movie Street Fighter which is due to be released in theatres next October.

The two will be among an ensemble cast helping to reboot the popular film franchise.

In his poster promo image, Jason has transformed into Blanka the beast and looks a million miles away from himself.

He can be seen with ginger hair and a scruffy beard as he takes on the character.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent adopts his birth name of Curtis Jackson for his movie credit.

Donning boxing gloves and a unique haircut, he will play Balrog, a boxer, in the flick.

Other members of the cast include actor Noah Centenio, Andrew Koji, Orville Peck and Cory Rhodes.

Paramount Pictures have already released a synopsis for the movie, teasing: “Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury.

“But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past.”

Street Fighter first launched as a popular video game that was first launched in 1987.

50 Cent previously revealed he had undergone an intense fitness regime in order to get himself ready for the movie role.

He wrote on TikTok three month ago alongside a video clip of him working out: “I don’t expect you to understand my level of discipline but watch it, it’s entertaining.”

50 Cent originally made his acting debut in the 2005 movie Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

He has since appeared in a plethora of hit movies and TV shows including Streets of Blood, Dead Man Running, Den Of Thieves and Power.

It was paparazzi time on Tuesday night at the old Morningside High gymnasium, where more than 20 photographers stationed themselves on the baseline trying to capture the moment Jason Crowe Jr. of Inglewood set the state record for career scoring by a high school basketball player.

Think Chino Hills days with the Ball brothers and Sierra Canyon days with Bronny James to bring out the cameras en masse.

The 6-foot-4 senior and son of Inglewood coach Jason Crowe Sr. needed 29 points to pass the 3,659 career points accumulated by Tounde Yessoufou of Santa Maria St. Joseph.

It happened at the outset of the third quarter against Beverly Hills, which Inglewood defeated 112-75. After scoring 24 points in the first half when Inglewood took a 57-32 lead, Crowe made two free throws on a technical called at the end of the second quarter, then made a three with 7:51 left in the third quarter to break the record. The game was halted briefly to present a special basketball honoring the occasion.

Crowe, a Missouri commit who finished with 51 points Tuesday, has been on a four-year journey to establish himself as one of the best basketball players in Southern California. He said he never set out to be the state’s all-time scoring leader.

“It just happened as the years went on and I kept racking up points,” he said.

From the moment he debuted as a 14-year-old freshman at Lynwood, Crowe has been a game-changer. He averaged 36.0 points as a freshman when Lynwood won a Division V state championship, 37.4 points as a sophomore and 35.3 points last season at Inglewood. This season, he’s averaging 42.9 points.

Crowe said that first season winning a state championship remains his biggest accomplishment.

“My freshman year was one of the finest years I had playing against good teams at a young age and carrying my team to a state title. That was the best feeling,” he said.

As Crowe’s reputation grew, many of his father’s friends joined in the fun. Crowe has spoken frequently with Inglewood’s most famous basketball player, Hall of Famer Paul Pierce. Crowe’s grandfather used to be the principal at Inglewood.

His scoring prowess is helped by his ability to attack the basket, draw fouls and make free throws. He’s relentless and never satisfied. His work ethic has helped him get stronger and show improvement each season.

“I feel I have established who I am in the high school basketball world,” Crowe said. “But there’s always something I can get better at.”

To be able to play for his father, a former Inglewood guard, is something for which Crowe is grateful.

“It’s been great having somebody who really cares about me on your side,” he said.

Crowe’s father is expected to join him in Missouri.

“He’s definitely going to encourage me and be with me on this journey,” Crowe said.

The fact Crowe still has more than two months of high school basketball to play means he’s only going to add to a record that might last a long time.
