Lady Gaga accepts the award for Best New Artist from Eminem during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

"Britain's Got Talent" alum Nathan Wyburn, 26, is an artist known for creating celebrity portraits. One of his most recent works is an Eminem spaghetti food art inspired by the "8 Mile" song "Lose Yourself."  

"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy," Eminem raps in "Lose Yourself." "There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti."

Released on Oct. 28, 2002, "Lose Yourself" became the first rap song to ever win the Academy Award for Best Original Song. It was from the soundtrack of "8 Mile," which was directed by the late Curtis Hanson.

"Lose Yourself" also won the Best Rap Song award at the 2004 Grammy Awards while Eminem won the Best Rap Solo Performance award. The "Rap God" rapper is the sole writer of the rap song.

With Eminem as the lead actor, "Lose Yourself" also starred the late Brittany Murphy, the late De'Angelo Wilson and the late DeShaun Dupree Holton, who is professionally known as Proof. The film also starred Academy Award winner Kim Basinger and Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon, who is set to star in "Horse Soldiers" opposite Chris Hemsworth, Deadline reported.

Eminem is not the first celebrity Wyburn painted using food. The United Kingdom-based artist has also used baked beans to paint Rowan Atkinson and chocolate to make a portrait of Gene Wilder, who was emotional during the special screening of "Young Frankenstein" on Oct. 5 at the 20th Century Fox Lot in Hollywood, California, People reported.

In 2011, Wyburn joined "Britain's Got Talent" and made it only to the semi-finals. During the competition, he made portraits of the late King of Rock Elvis Presley, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, the late 1950s sex symbol Marilyn Monroe and English comedian and presenter Michael McIntyre.  

Recently, Wyburn released "Not That Kind of Art," a book featuring his work. Watch him paint Eminem using spaghetti here:
