“I have attained happiness.” Mihai Bendeac, conquered by the smile of a little girl: “It’s clear that you have something special. Maybe I touched an angel”

The actor Mihai Bendeac told on Instagram an emotional moment experienced during the filming of the “City Boys” series.

The actor was at the George Coșbuc National College, on a long and tiring day of filming, when he was approached by a spectator who asked him to take a photo with his daughter, Ingrid.

“At one point, walking to the caravan to change into another outfit and with my mind alert to what frame was next, I was approached by a gentleman who asked me to take a photo of his daughter, Ingrid. It’s obviously not something that hasn’t happened to me before. I’ve taken pictures of thousands of children. I’ve met the children of friends, colleagues. Everyone knows that I melt instantly, I like children (as long as they are not my own). Yeah… now it was something different. This kid had a smile that stopped time. And, above all, the moment he looked at me… Well, here’s the hard part. I don’t know how to explain… I actually felt a level of joy, of zen that I have never found since childhood until now”Bendeac wrote on Instagram.

The actor confessed that the emotion was so strong that it transported him back to his childhood.

“I have a thing that I relate to when it comes to happiness. I think I only experienced it once in its fullness. I was 5 years old. It was an autumn day when my grandparents came to pick me up from kindergarten. I don’t know why that memory is so important. I remember everything. How I was dressed, how they were dressed, how the sun was shining, absolutely everything… And that happiness! The one that I never got again never. Until Saturday. When, out of nowhere, in the middle of a complicated filming day, suddenly, after 37 years, I reached that happiness again. In a second. Simply,” he said.

Bendeac admitted that he did not fully understand why this meeting affected him so deeply: “I don’t know why. I don’t know how. I don’t know why this kid. I don’t know why now. I don’t know what this means. I don’t even have time right now to think about it. We’re still filming at the premiere follows at the theater with . But something happened. One afternoon. With a child’s smile.”

In conclusion, Bendeac thanked the little girl for the unique moment: “Thank you, Ingrid! It’s clear that you have something special. Maybe I touched an angel.”
