Eddie Murphy Credits Divorce for Dreamgirls Performance

Eddie Murphy says his recent divorce from ex-wife Nicole improved his performance in the upcoming movie "Dreamgirls."

"It was real emotional," Murphy said Monday's Oprah Winfrey show. "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."

"I don't want to make it seem like I was, you know, all Joe Actor ..." Murphy said. "I was going through a big divorce, so between shots I was like, `damn.'"

"Dreamgirls" is set for release Dec. 25.
