Curtis “50 Cent” Jacksonaccidentally flexed his muscles too hard while filming the latestExpendablesmovie.
On Tuesday,Expend4blesstunt coordinatorAlan NgtoldPopCulture.comthat a collision between Jackson, 48, and a stunt performer during filming for the new action sequel resulted in one stunt performer sustaining a dislocated finger.
“50 Cent is very powerful and strong so that made it very easy to work with him,” Ng told the outlet, as he described working with Jackson andMegan Foxas they joinedSylvester Stallone,Dolph LundgrenandJason Stathamfor the series' fourth installment.
“We played to the fact that Megan has a strong dance background,” the stunt coordinator said. “Megan’s style is very agile, flexible, and fast. Whereas 50 Cent is very powerful and strong, so he’s like a tank. 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 [he] dislocated his finger.”
“The guy and his finger are ok now of course,” Ng added.
