Curtis 50 Cent Jackson is replacing Oscar winner Forest Whitaker in the action flick "The Expendables" reports AICN.
Due to delays which have put back the film's shoot by a month, Whitaker had to pull out due to conflicts with prior engagements.
Internet outrage caused Sly to defend the move to StalloneZone: "...he is not "self-destructive", he wrote in a message addressed to administrator Craig Zablo, "The anger of the casting of 50 Cent is understandable, but not fair."
"A player is only as good as his coach," he continued explaining in 50's defense. "If a man can communicate in one medium, he can communicate in another if his strengths are brought out and he has the support of well-wishers. So, trust me, the change of Forest Whitaker to 50 Cent Aka Curtis Jackson is a good one."
Stallone further pointed out on other casting which turned out fine. "No one thought Dolph Lundgren was a good choice for Rocky or Mr. T for Rocky III..."
Stallone stars in and directs the actioner about a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator.
Jet Li, Jason Statham, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke and Arnold Schwarzenegger also star.
Still as an actor "Fitty" Cent is no Forest Whitaker-no matter who calls action--never will be...
