General Hospital News: Maurice Benard Is Having A Rough Year For This Reason

Let’s just say that it hasn’t been Maurice Benard’s week, his month, or even his year for that matter.

Maurice Benard Is Having A Rough Year For This Reason

Clearly, we are talking about General Hospital star Maurice Benard, who is best known for his role as Sonny Corinthos on the hit ABC soap.

That’s because there’s heavy speculation suggesting that he’s had a very rough time behind the scenes, and there seems to be several reasons behind it, too.

For those who have been paying attention, Maurie has made it no secret that he’s looking to break out from the daytime television world in one way or another.

In other words, Maurice might be thinking about going into podcasting full-time. That’s because anyone who has been paying attention to the actor or even taking a peek at his social media accounts will see that all he likes to talk about these days is his mental health series, State of Mind.

Now, that’s not to say that he doesn’t love his character or that he’s not grateful for the opportunity that he’s had to play Sonny throughout his career. Instead, it just seems like Maurice is ready for a shift in his career.

What’s Next For Maurice Benard?

If that weren’t enough, Maurice also reached out to Joe Rogan in the hopes that he can get Joe or even Dana White to appear on his YouTube mental health series, State of Mind. Talk about some big names there, right?

The actor recently reached out to both men on social media and even wrote, “Let’s have an honest and open discussion on mental health on your show or my show, State of mind. It’s all for the betterment of mental health. I think it would help a lot of people.”

Yet, here’s the one embarrassing detail that a lot of people have picked up on: does Joe Rogan even know who Maurice Benard is?

So far Maurice himself has not made any comments about the matter but we will update you with all of the latest details the moment they come in.

Watch this space as we have a feeling there is so much more to come.
