Frankie Muniz is opening up in a way we don’t see often from former child stars. In a September 18 Instagram post, the Malcolm in the Middle alum said he hit rock bottom over the last six weeks, describing the stretch as“a nightmare I’m praying to wake up from.”He went on to say the low point forced real self-reflection and framed what comes next as“the foundation, not the finish line.”
The timing says a lot. Muniz didn’t wait for a project to promote or a magazine cover to explain himself. He just posted it, plainly, and let people sit with it. For anyone who grew up watching him on TV, that honesty means something.
Meanwhile, the celebrity news cycle kept rolling. Millie Bobby Brown confirmed on September 17 that she and husband Jake Bongiovi welcomed their second baby, a son. And Paris Hilton told Us that she and Nicole Richie are planning a new project together, a tease she dropped September 14 at the Blonds’20th anniversary fashion show.
