How much does Brenda Blethyn know about 50 Cent?

They appear in the same film, but the first time Brenda Blethyn got to meet her co-star 50 Cent was during the promotional tour for Dead Man Running. The Oscar-nominated actress admits she now has more street cred with her grandchildren after landing the same movie as the rapper. Brenda plays Tamer Hassan's mum in the comedy crime caper. It is the 63-year-old's first gangster film, but she said this one appealed as it is completely different to other features in this field. Brenda said: "It's a villain romp. It's a buddy movie. It's funny and it's British."
