Cory Hardrict Actor and Producer On this episode of the Pivot, in partnership with Fanatics, the guys have a conversation about the ups and downs of life, dealing with trauma and changes we never expected and how to find strength in our families and passions while celebrating the wins with gratitude instead of guilt. Cory Hardrict may seem like an overnight success but he's been climbing his way to the top of the box office for over two decades, he’s made a name for himself with roles in films like Never Been Kissed, American Sniper, Netflix’s Brotherly Love, and most recently, Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black with costar Meagan Goo. Cory prides himself in always evolving and his dedication to perfecting his craft, and committed to being a role model—not just for other actors, but also for the Black community and his own kids. Beyond the bright lights of Hollywood, the guys touch on some real talk—being a Black man in today’s society, toxic masculinity, and the importance of uplifting fellow Black men. Cory shares experiences about overcoming hardship, staying focused, and using his platform to inspire others...While also getting honest on his divorce and moving forward in the most positive way. Cory lets his walls down and opens up to Ryan, Channing and Fred that everyone struggles from time to time and it shouldn’t be looked down upon for men, especially black men to cry, express themselves or ask for help. In a recent panel, Cory opens up on how he cried almost everyday for over a year as he adjusted to so many changes in his life from dealing with a high profile divorce from actress Tia Mowry to public misconceptions about his character to being strong for his children while focusing on his demanding career. Not shying away from the difficulties of headlines or public splits, Cory keeps it real saying he believes in unconditional love and that everything from this point on is for his kids and no room for mistakes or missteps. His divorce may have kept his name in tabloids for the past 2 years but his acting career has kept him atop the box office with several star roles. Working with Meagan Good has challenged him as well as lifted him to a different tier to be seen as a character who can play any role. Despite his love for acting, Cory shares his perspective on always proving yourself as a black man in Hollywood and staying grounded. He also opens up about growing up in Chicago, losing both his brother and mother, and how those pivotal moments pushed him to build a better life for his own family. Tap in now for this conversation that pulls you in and makes you look at life differently with the glass half full rather than half empty.
