Janet Jackson Says She Almost Played An Iconic Movie Role That Ultimately Went to Halle Berry

Janet Jackson.

Janet Jackson has starred in five films—from Poetic Justice in 1993 to 2010’s For Colored Girls—but almost had one more film credit to add to her roster: 2000’s X-Men, where Jackson was offered the role of Storm for the franchise. That role eventually went to Halle Berry, and Jackson said she had to turn it down because of tour obligations, she said on The Drew Barrymore Show.
