Cedric “Beastie” Jones has sadly died at just 46 years old.
The actor, who transitioned from being a personal trainer, and was recognized for his roles alongside his pal Chris Pratt in films like 2016’s “The Magnificent Seven” and 2022’s “The Terminal List,” died suddenly, as reported by DailyMail.com.
The article noted that his passing was “sudden” and has left his wife and three children in shock.
Jones had been homeless in Compton, California, before going on to achieve great success. He eventually became a gym owner and immersed himself in the fitness industry. He was the proprietor of the renowned Beastie Boxing gym in Manhattan Beach, California, a hotspot for celebrities.
On Friday, the Beastie Boxing paid tribute to Jones on its official Instagram page:
Cedric’s last Instagram post, which he shared last month, aimed to motivate individuals striving to improve themselves.
“Get focused! Stop strolling and worrying about what people are saying.”
“People will talk-dont listen, people will point – don’t look their way, people will write about you-don’t give them your time.”
