50 Cent accidentally dislocated the finger of a stuntman while playing the role of Easy Day on the new action film Expend4bles, the fourth installment of The Expendables series.

The movie’s stunt coordinator Alan Ng, while speaking about working with the film’s big names on action sequences, told PopCulture.com that the injury occurred after the actor/musical artist, 48, and stuntman collided.

’50 Cent is very powerful and strong so that made it very easy to work with him,’ Ng told the outlet. ’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 dislocated his finger.’

Ng said said that the stuntman ‘and his finger are ok now of course.’

The Candy Shop rapper, whose full name is Curtis Jackson, spoke about the collision on Instagram Wednesday, noting he was nearly 30 pounds heavier during filming of the motion picture.

‘I was 237 lbs in EXPENDABLES 4 I’m back down to 208,’ he said in response to a news item about the story. ‘I still got a little POWER check out the movie.’

The rapper, whose hits include In da Club, P.I.M.P. and If I Can’t, appears alongside Sylvester Stallone, 76, Dolph Lundgren, 65, Jason Statham, 55, Andy Garcia, 67, and Megan Fox, 37, in the movie. It also features Randy Couture, 60, Tony Jaa, 47, Iko Uwais, 40, Jacob Scipio, 30 and Levy Tran, 40.

Ng said he ‘loved working with such a talented cast’ on the new film.

The film opened September 22 and has made $15.5 million at the worldwide box office, with $10.3 million domestic, according to Box Office Mojo.

Ng said that he and filmmakers played to Fox’s ‘very agile, flexible and fast‘ physicality in setting up her action

‘We played to the fact that Megan has a strong dance background,’ said Ng, who has past worked with Jackie Chan on a number of films.

Ng said Fox’s past work on the Transformers films ‘definitely helped with her scenes,’ in Expend4bles.
