    Frankie Muniz is at "a new low" with his mental health

    The 39-year-old actor - who has carved out a second career as a NASCAR racing driver in recent years after initially finding fame as a child star - took to social media on Sunday (21.04.25) evening to open up about his struggles


    He wrote on X: "If I'm being 100% honest... Mentally/emotionally I may be at a new low. Just wanted to say it out loud."

    His comments come just weeks after he was competing in a race and eventually finished in 23rd place after being forced to make a pit stop when he struggled to control his vehicle.

    He later said that the whole thing was the "hardest thing [he] has ever done and cost him "17 or 18 laps" in total.

    The former 'Malcolm in the Middle' star did not elaborate on anything with his new post but has preivously been candid about his struggles with early fame.

    Speaking on the 'Inside You' podcast earlier this year, he explained: ""I went with my mom up to New York and we were going on like six auditions a day and kind of doing the whole grind.

    "And I started booking things and never went back to North Carolina... it was kind of this really weird dynamic to look at now."

    "It actually makes me a little bit sad to realise that me following my dream and the things that I got to do affected every single member of my family.

    "When it's happening you don't realize the sacrifice that every single person is making for you."

    Frankie also told how he was moved by his elderly grandparents being "willing to help out and do whatever they could do" to help him reach his showbiz dreams.

    He added: "This year, it was the first time I thought about the past enough to think about the sacrifice that people made.

    "And it made me really sad. Like it made happy that I had people in my life like that. But it's just a crazy thought that without that support, probably none of that happens."
