Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz addresses bizarre 'dying' rumours

Malcolm in the Middle actor Frankie Muniz has addressed bizarre rumours that he was "dying."

During his time on Dancing With The Stars, Frankie opened up about his "memory issues" but his admission was soon exaggerated, some headlines claiming that he had no recollection of filming Malcolm in the Middle.

During a chat on the Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, Frankie initially addressed the rumours and explained that he was diagnosed with migraines auras and suffered from "nine concussions."

"I’ve thought about it a lot like over my years, why do I have a bad memory?," he said. "The only logical thing I can say is, yeah, I’ve had nine concussions."

"I just think it’s the fact that I did so f***ing much in that time frame that of course I can’t remember all of it," Frankie added referencing his time as a child star, appearing in films like Agent Cody Banks and Racing Stripes as well as Malcolm in the Middle.

Frankie also explained he struggled to remember things in recent years, including his Dancing With The Stars appearance in 2017, where he placed third in the compeition.

"They kind of tell you what your most memorable year is going to be," he said of the Dancing With The Stars' format. '"They were like, 'It’s 2001 because it’s when you were nominated for an Emmy and the Golden Globes,' and I go, 'I don’t remember what I felt then,' I don’t, you know?"

More recently, Frankie cleared up any concern about his health and confirmed that he wasn't dying but reiterated the fact that his life has been non-stop since he was eight-years-old.

"I don’t have the best memory," he told GQ. "I don’t know how much of that is because I’ve had nine concussions in my life, but I think it’s mostly because since I was eight years old, I’ve never stopped moving – going places, doing so much.

"And as an actor, I would become someone else, say their words, and then forget them the next day. So that’s almost how I operate in my daily life. I’m used to being busy, so maybe I don’t absorb everything."

"I’m all good," he reassured.
