Frankie Muniz has made a candid admission about his mental health in a new social media update.
It's currently a busy period work wise for the actor and racing driver, as he prepares to return to his best known character in a reboot of the popular Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, alongside Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek.
The 39-year-old is also an accomplished racing driver, currently competing in the NASCAR Truck Series. He most took part in a NASCAR event at Rockingham Speedway and is ranked 23rd out of 45 in the Truck Series standings (per CNN).

So it's pretty fair to say that Muniz is pretty booked and busy when it comes to the work side of things.
With the actor having plenty of exciting opportunities on the horizon, you'd think he'd be feeling pretty on top of the world right now, however, the Agent Cody Banks star isn't afraid about being ‘100% honest’ about his highs and lows.
Taking to X, Muniz spoke openly about his current mental health, writing: "If I'm being 100% honest... Mentally/emotionally I may be at a new low."
While the actor didn't expand on what had caused his dip in mental health, he admitted that it felt like something which was important to honest about, adding: "Just wanted to say it out loud."

Muniz's fans and followers were quick to praise the actor for speaking openly about his emotions online, with several people sharing their support in the replies.
"It’ll be alright, buddy. Things always work out in the end. Keep your chin up, and remember not to make any decisions unless the sun is shining," one person commented.
"You got this man. Both on the track and off. Keep doing you," a second follower replied, while a third added: "Been there, it will fade and make the highs feel that much better."
Muniz was confirmed to be taking part in the four-part Malcolm in the Middle reboot alongside Cranston and Kaczmarek back in December last year, with Variety revealing the new episodes would be premiering on Disney+.

According to the outlet, an all grown up Malcolm will be roped back into his parents' chaos after Hal and Lois 'demand' his presence at their 40th wedding anniversary party.
The trio will be joined by Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield who are reprising their roles as Malcolm's older siblings Francis and Reese. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark has been cast as Dewey, taking over from Erik Per Sullivan after his retirement from acting.
