It’s actually quite easy to see how the media would spin Frankie Muniz’s words and assume the worst. In another instance during the series, he spoke of having a bad memory that was fostered by his acting career. There was one instance where Muniz took the time to comment on the health complications he was suffering from, citing numerous concussions and misdiagnosed mini-strokes. The memory loss rumors ran rampant after Frankie Muniz hosted Dancing with the Stars on ABC. I don’t, you know? It was me kind of blowing off the fact that I can’t say ‘That’s my favorite year’ because I can’t tell you what happened in 2001… I had to say, like, ‘I don’t really remember.’ But I wasn’t saying I don’t remember anything.” And I go, ‘I don’t remember what I felt then. You know what I mean? And they were like, ‘It’s 2001 because it’s when you were nominated for an Emmy and the Golden Globes’ and all that kind of stuff. To be honest, like, I love ‘ Dancing With the Stars,’ and I don’t want to say anything that will make them hate me, but they kind of tell you what your most memorable year is going to be. 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. “I don’t want to blame the concussions or blame anything else. … You search my name (and) it’s basically, ‘Frankie is dying’… I’ve thought about it a lot like over my years of like, you know, why do I have a bad memory? You know what I mean? The only logical thing I can say is, yeah, I’ve had nine concussions,” admits Frankie Muniz, but that isn’t what he blames for his lack of memory or how the public has interpreted it. If you search my name, all it talks about is how like I have no memory or I’m dying of strokes and all this kind of stuff. “This is the first time that I’ve actually ever gotten to clarify. To respond, the Agent Cody Banks star had quite the mouthful to say. While appearing on the Wilde Ride! With Steve-O podcast this past December, Frankie Muniz finally addressed the long-held rumor that he doesn’t recall his time on Malcolm in the Middle after suffering memory loss from a mini-stroke.
