Amanda Bynes seems to be a huge 50 Cent fan.
The former child star, 38, made a surprise appearance at the rapper's Las Vegas residency at PH Live inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Saturday, December 28.
According to a source, Bynes seemed "relaxed and happy" while saying hello to admirers in the audience and was heard telling people she's "been a fan of 50 Cent for years."
Per the insider, the Hairspray alum went backstage after the show and was heard telling 50, who is 49 years old, about a screenplay she's been working on.
The fun night out comes after Bynes has been making positive changes in her life, documenting her health journey, possibly dating a new man and diving into creative new ventures after years of mental health hurdles.
"I've gained over 20lbs in the past few months from being depressed," the She's the Man actress, who was put under two 5150 psychiatric holds in 2023 after being found wandering the streets of L.A. naked, said in a social media update in March 2024. "I'm doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don't feel like working out or eating clean."
