Cory Hardrict 's latest film, Divorce in Black , has a theme that is a little too familiar. In April 2023, the 44-year-old actor and his ex-wife, Tia Mowry , finalized their divorce . A year later, Hardrict is playing Dallas, a man who is having a hard time letting go of his failed relationship with his ex-wife, Ava ( Meagan Good ), and will go through any lengths (sometimes dangerous) to get her back.
Even though he was working through the end of his 14-year marriage , he did not hesitate to take on the role. "Yes and no," Hardrict tells ET's Nischelle Turner when asked if the role served as a little bit of therapy following his public split. "Listen, when I read the script, I knew I had to be apart of it cause it was Mr.
[Tyler] Perry and he's changed the culture a lot, it's impactful. The world resonates with his material and it was always a dream come true to work with Mr. Perry," he says about taking on the role.
"Whether it rather be in Divorce [in Black] or not, this one was getting done by me. I loved the character and I loved everything about the suspense, the arcs of the family's and I left it all there. And that was the therapy of relieving everything that I've been through in my whole life, you know? Losing my mom, everything.
" He adds, "I put it all there to honor her I bring out my emotions in real feelings, honor my loved ones. That's how I give them the homage." In October 2022, Mowry, 46, announced that she and Hardrict would be ending their marriage .
