Fans noticed Duell holding a doll which he introduced as Mini Maurice. According to Duell he “made this myself, actually, about five, six years back.”

“You know, we do scenes together and we were working heavy together, I kind of wanted to have somebody I can run lines with and just have your kind of presence. And also, it was a situation like a Buddha’s belly type thing.

Just for a good luck thing, I just go between the shirt, rub the nip. It’s a good luck kind of charm for me, especially when I have something big I have to do.”

Is this what they mean by method acting?

Benard had fans laughing when he noted that the doll looks more like Robert DeNiro in The Godfather than Sonny on GH.

Duell responded “I used that as my inspiration a little bit when I was making it” but added that the Maurice doll is “more mellow. Prone to random outbursts.”

On an entirely different note, Benard asked his co-star if he planned to sleep with the doll now that they won’t be seeing each other on a regular basis.

Duell didn’t skip a beat and said “I do always sleep with him” and Benard inquired “So he can hug you and stuff?”
