*Janet Jackson recently revealed that she passed on playing Storm in the first “X-Men” film before the role ultimately went to Halle Berry.
On a recent episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Jackson said she had to pass on the opportunity to play the superhero because she was touring.
“I was just embarking on the Janet Tour,” Jackson said before noting that she would love to dabble in acting again.
