50 Cent 'inspired by Danny Dyer'
50 Cent has revealed that he was convinced to sign up for new film Dead Man Running after hearing that it featured Danny Dyer.

The rapper plays a loan shark in the upcoming crime thriller who threatens an ex-con (Dyer) to pay back a £100,000 debt in 24 hours.

"What made me secure about going into the project was I'd watched those other actors like Danny," he told BBC Newsbeat.

"I watched Layer Cake, I watched UK films while I was travelling. I knew I would be in a secure space surrounded by this sort of cast."

Dead Man Running reaches UK cinemas on October 30.
