Rapper 50 Cent will screen his new feature "Before I Self Destruct," in 10 U.S. cities next month.

The film is described in a release as a 90-minute film, written, directed and starring Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent) and is a gritty "coming of age" story about the city.

But if he had his way, one time "Sexiest Woman Alive" Jessica Alba would be in his next movie. 

Rapper 50 Cent wants to star in a romantic movie and would like Jessica Alba as his leading lady.

The 34-year-old star said that if he was to appear in a chick-flick he would want the Fantastic Four actress to star opposite him.

He said to UK magazine Live: "I want to play the lead in a romantic movie. Jessica Alba would be my perfect co-star – what man wouldn't want to do a romantic movie with her?" The rapper can currently be seen starring in cinemas in new movie Dead Man Running.
