Does divorce occur with the words "You are divorced" if said to anticipate an actor in a TV scene, without the intention of divorce, while my wife is sitting next to me?

Uttering a divorce statement by way of narration or imitation does not constitute a divorce. Therefore, your divorce did not occur as long as you uttered it in imitation of the actor.
