Frankie Muniz addresses ‘speculation over his memory’ after making Malcolm in the Middle admission

Frankie Muniz has addressed some of the 'speculation about my memory' that followed comments he made about being on Malcolm in the Middle.

He was the leading role in the sitcom between 2000 and 2006 which followed the antics of Malcolm and his family.

The show might have been over for a long time but plenty of people fell in love with it then and still love it now.

So when Muniz once said he didn't really remember some parts of filming the show fans were a bit worried, but he's since cleared up what he really meant.

He had told Steve-O's Wild Ride that he could remember being on the show and making it, it's just that it was a long time ago and he's not going to recall every detail.

It's not the only time Muniz has spoken about how much he remembers of Malcolm in the Middle, though it being so long ago now did help when he decided to re-watch the show.

"We did so many episodes I actually didn't remember what happens in most of the episodes so I could actually watch it," Muniz told Pardon My Take of him going back and watching Malcolm in the Middle.

"It definitely changed my perspective of what the show was, like the comedy even when we were filming it or we were doing it, I imagined that the show was different than it actually ended up being.

"There were characters that, when I was filming, I was like 'this is stupid' that actually ended up becoming some of my favourite moments when I re-watched the show."

The star then went on to talk about his comments on memory and the speculation that had sparked, explaining the real reason why he said he'd not been able to remember everything about it.

He said: "There's been a lot of speculation about my memory and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I feel like I did so much, like so many episodes, so many things and you just kind of do it, you know you film.

"I think the biggest thing for me is I don't distinguish things that I dreamt, I go like 'did that happen' because I've had so many crazy dreamlike things happen in reality.

"But then also most of my life and most of my childhood I was pretending to be someone else, doing things that I had to do, that weren't really me."
