Actor Frankie Muniz, best known for playing the title character in the hit 2000s sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle, recently declared on social media that he is “proud” to "live for Jesus Christ.”

“Happy Sunday! I am proud to say I live for Jesus Christ. Who’s with me?” wrote Muniz on X Sunday. 

Muniz’s post, which has been viewed 2.4 million times, was met with a positive reception, including Christian actress Candace Cameron Bure, who wrote, “Let’s GO!!! Praise God.”

According to The Christian Post, Muniz has been more vocal about his faith in recent years. For example, in January, he posted an Instagram video of himself listening to the worship song “Build My Life” by Pat Barrett before the video switched to another video of him being pulled over by a police car. 

“Hilarious contrast of feeling good praising God, to being pissed off in the matter of minutes,” wrote Muniz. “All part of His plan so you have to trust the good and the bad.”

Following his success with “Malcolm in the Middle” alongside star Bryan Cranston, Muniz became a NASCAR race driver after famously walking away from Hollywood in 2006 to focus on racing and family.

“I had all the cars — I was a big car guy — so, yeah, I did get to experience a really amazing life in that sense. But all that comes at a super high price. Money does not buy happiness. Look at Hollywood — there’s a lot of miserable people, right?” he told US Weekly in a recent interview. 

 

Muniz took a break from NASCAR racing in August after breaking his wrist due to falling off a ladder in his backyard.

"The phrase ‘FML’ (Frankie Muniz's Life) takes on new meaning with moments like these. I'm disappointed to share that I won’t be racing at Darlington this weekend or for the next few weeks due to a distal radius fracture," he wrote on Instagram at the time. "Yesterday, I fell from the top of a ladder while changing the batteries in a Ring camera in my backyard. Note to self: heed the ladder warning that says, ‘Do not sit or stand on top step.’"

"In hindsight, a taller ladder would’ve been smarter. While I’m gutted to miss the races, I’m grateful it wasn’t worse," he continued. "I feel for my team, who’ve poured their hearts into this season, and I’m thankful for @FordPerformance and their unwavering support. The doctor estimates a 6-8 week recovery, so I’ll be back in the driver’s seat as soon as I’m cleared."

Earlier this year, Disney announced a "Malcolm in the Middle” reboot, which will include original cast members Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek on board to reprise their roles as Malcolm and his parents, Hal and Lois, respectively,” Deadline reported.

“I think people will be surprised, in a sense, where everybody is and the story. But it’s only four episodes,” Muniz told The Hollywood Reporter regarding the reboot. “It’s hard to fit in 20 years of stuff into four 30-minute episodes, right? But I think people are going to be very happy with what they came up with.”
