Janet Jackson Says She Passed on a Popular Movie Role That Went to Halle Berry


Janet Jackson said she was almost cast in 'X-Men' instead of Halle Berry. Get the details.

The topic first came up when Barrymore’s co-anchor Ross Mathews asked the performer whether she had been considered for Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s The Matrix, which Jackson said wasn’t true. The five-time Grammy winner is currently in the midst of her Together Again Tour, with upcoming stops planned for Las Vegas, Los Angeles and more cities. Janet Jackson poses backstage at the Christian Siriano Spring/Summer 2023 NYFW Show at the Elizabeth Collective on Sept. 7, 2022 in New York City.
