The singer opened up about some of her biggest career regrets on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

After 40 years in the business, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/young-photos-madonna-birthday-80s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madonna</a> is no stranger to her fair share of mishaps and mistakes. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the singer got candid about some of the wrong turns she's made throughout her career.&nbsp;
When asked about speculation that she turned down a role in the 1995 film Showgirls, she gave a thumbs down, expressing no regrets for that choice, but she did own up to having FOMO over two other roles that she passed up. "I regret that I turned down Catwoman [in Batman Returns]," the "Vogue" artist remarked. &ldquo;Showgirls? No."
She continued, "I also turned down the role in The Matrix. Can you believe that? I wanted to kill myself."&nbsp;

A visibly shocked Fallon responded by saying, "You're Madonna. You don't regret anything."
&ldquo;That&rsquo;s like one of the best movies ever made," replied the star. "A&nbsp;teeny-tiny&nbsp;part of me regrets just that one moment in my life.&rdquo;
Madonna joined Fallon on the show to discuss her new concert special <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/new-movies-tv-shows-to-watch-october-2021-netflix-hbo-max" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madame X</a> which is now streaming on Paramount+. She also revealed that she is writing a "visual autobiography" about her life. "A bunch of people have tried to write movies about me, but they're always men," said the singer. However, after several failed attempts plagued by a "misogynist" director, inaccurate scripts, and a lack of authenticity, the singer told the studio she'd be writing it herself.
She explained, "There's nobody on this planet that can write or direct or make a movie about me better than me. And that's just the truth."
