50 Cent accidentally dislocated a stuntperson's finger on the set of 'The Expendables 4,' says stunt coordinator
- 50 Cent accidentally dislocated a stuntperson's finger on the set of "The Expendables 4."
- That's according to Alan Ng, the stunt coordinator on the movie.
50 Cent might be nearing 50 years old, but he certainly hasn't lost any of his strength.
According to Alan Ng, the stunt coordinator on "The Expendables 4," the "In Da Club" rapper accidentally dislocated a stuntperson's finger on set while filming a scene.
50 stars as Easy Day, a new member of the titular mercenary team, in the flick, which was released on September 22.
"50 Cent is very powerful and strong, so he like a tank," Ng told PopCulture.com in an interview published Wednesday.
"He was actually so strong that in one of the scenes, he was supposed to barge into a stunt performer and his strength resulted in the guy going flying and dislocated his finger. The guy and his finger are okay now, of course," Ng continued.
50 caught wind of the story and shared a screenshot of the article on his Instagram Wednesday night, writing: "I was 237 lbs in EXPENDABLES 4 I'm back down to 208. I still got a little POWER check out the movie."
Representatives for 50 Cent did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
50 Cent isn't the only new face to join the "Expendables" franchise for its fourth installment.
Megan Fox stars as Gina, a CIA agent and the girlfriend of Jason Statham's character, Lee Christmas, while "Ocean's Eleven" star Andy García and the Thai martial artist Tony Jaa are also new to the cast.
Meanwhile, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Sylvester Stallone all reprise their respective roles as Gunner Jensen, Toll Road, and Barney Ross.
Ng said working with the new stars, particularly Fox and 50, was easy despite their limited experience in the action genre.
"She has a very good foundation with her dance background and she picks up choreography very fast when rehearsing or when we made any changes on set," he said of Fox.
"50 Cent is very powerful and strong so that made it very easy to work with him," Ng added.
Last month, 50 shared his distaste for one of the movie's promotional posters.
"WTF did we run out of money?" the 48-year-old star wrote on Instagram alongside a poster featuring him as Easy Day.
"Why my head look like it ain't connected to my body. I bet they are gonna make @officialslystallone look great. SMH," he added, referring to Sylvester Stallone.
