General Hospital fans were treated to a pleasant surprise this week. Maurice Benard, who plays Sonny Corinthos, returned from a sunny getaway with a fresh new look and an air of calm confidence. His latest Instagram post had viewers swooning and commenting nonstop.
A Much-Needed Escape
Maurice recently flew to the Bahamas with his close friend and trainer, Sensei Majid Raees. The pair shared their travel fun in a lighthearted Instagram reel set at an airport. The soundtrack? “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” by Three Dog Night. Raees asked how Maurice felt post-trip. His response was heartfelt: “I feel content. I ate a lot, I swam a lot, and I loved a lot.” That simple statement spoke volumes about his relaxed mood and renewed spirit.
Beyond his mood, fans couldn’t ignore the fresh style. Maurice sported a sharp silver-gray goatee and a deep tan. He looked effortlessly stylish, glowing with post-vacation confidence. In his caption, Maurice wrote, “I’M BACK. We were Bahama bound @majidraees and… We did it all.” He teased fans with, “I am ready to go back. Who wants to go with me?” That line alone sent his followers into a frenzy.
Comments poured in with love and admiration. “Maurice, you look wonderful. Love the goatee,” one fan gushed. Another added, “That tan is everything!” More chimed in with praise: “You look relaxed and peaceful.”, “Keep the goatee! That beard suits you.”, “Hot as always, Mooooo!” One follower even remembered Maurice’s past anxiety about flying and said, “Kudos for flying, Maurice.” He replied with a simple but touching “yes.”
