Actor Drew On Emotions While Playing Ruthless Manager In 'Dreamgirls'
 AP) Eddie Murphy says a difficult divorce helped his performance in the upcoming movie "Dreamgirls."
"It was real emotional," Murphy said Monday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," where he appeared with Jamie Foxx, Beyonce and other members of the cast.
"So it was really good because I had all that going on and that's going on under your skin; you get on the set and when you're acting ... (it took) me to a different place emotionally," the 45-year-old actor said.
Murphy's divorce from his wife, Nicole, came up as Murphy deflected Foxx's compliment about how Murphy could instantly transform himself into the character of James "Thunder" Early, then revert to "this quiet, docile thing" when the cameras stopped rolling
