The news comes shortly after Janet recently admitted she almost starred in a very big action film 24 years ago.
While stopping by The Drew Barrymore Show on Thursday, the seasoned crooner was told her outfit looked very Matrix in style.
Then Drew asked if she almost did that Keanu Reeves film.
That is when Michael Jackson’s sister said no and felt that Drew might be confused with X-Men.
Janet went on to reveal that she was asked to play Storm in the 2000 film X-Men, but said no because she was going on tour.
‘I couldn’t, because I was just embarking on the Janet tour,’ said the songbird who wore an all black outfit with her hair in braids styled into top knots.
The role was then snapped up by Halle Berry who helped make the part iconic.
That is when Barrymore said for the first time ever that she was offered a part in Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg.
‘It’s so hard when you like are thinking of doing a film and then you don’t end up doing it,’ shared Drew.
‘I have so many of those experiences. And do you still, does it still to this day like, mine was, I’ve never said this out loud, Boogie Nights.
‘There was a moment where we were talking about Boogie Nights and I think it’s when I went and did Ever After and I went in a very different direction.’
