Guest on the Wild Ride podcast! presented by the ex Jackass Steve-O, the comedian of the cult series Frankie Muniz took the opportunity to make an update on his absence of memories of the series “Malcolm”, mentioned in 2017 in an interview …
Flashback sequence. Frankie Muniz, the endearing and turbulent hero of the cult series Malcolm, revealed in an interview in 2017 that he had only a vague memory of the series. In 2009, this motor racing lover was the victim of a car accident, which resulted in several strokes and no less than nine concussions.
He did not come out unscathed, since his memory was damaged according to him. He told : “Most people think my most memorable years were Malcolm’s. The truth is, I don’t remember much. … I almost feel like it wasn’t me. That makes me sad. (…) Sometimes things suddenly come to mind when they should be memories. “

On the contrary, I think it’s just because [à l’époque] I did so much fucking stuff. So obviously I can’t remember everything. “
And to add, further: “I have memories that can come to mind suddenly. But the thing with my memory is that I sometimes can’t tell the difference between a possible dream and reality. places I’ve been, people I’ve met. […]
