Janet Jackson used anger at Michael Jackson’s death for movie scene

Janet Jackson channelled her dormant anger over her beloved brother Michael’s death into a furious scene in her new film.

For the scene in Tyler Perry's new movie Why Did I Get Married Too?, Janet had to smash up furniture with a golf club.

The singer-cum-actress reprises her role as a psychotherapist in the sequel to the 2007 movie Why Did I Get Married?

And Janet has admitted that she found the emotional scene therapeutic after a tough 2009, which saw her split from longtime boyfriend Jermaine Dupri and loss of the King of Pop.

"You have to dig deep but there was some stuff that was right there for me. Stuff that had just happened, with my brother passing, and also relationships, experiencing exactly that,” the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

Michael passed away after suffering a fatal cardiac arrest in June 2009.
