‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Star Suffers Freak Accident in Backyard: ‘FML’

Frankie Muniz will have to put his racing career on hold after falling in his backyard.

The lovable face of Malcom in the Middle announced that he suffered a freak accident on Wednesday. Frankie Muniz, who played the show’s titular character, wrote on Instagram that he broke a bone in his wrist after falling from the top of a ladder in his backyard. Muniz was trying to change the batteries in a Ring camera at his home in Arizona when he fell. Muniz seemed to be in good spirits about the fall, writing, “The phrase ‘FML’ (Frankie Muniz’s Life) takes on new meaning with moments like these.” “Note to self: heed the ladder warning that says, ‘Do not sit or stand on top step,’” the former child star added. Muniz wrote that his recovery will force him to miss a NASCAR race in South Carolina. Muniz has been competing on the raceway since he distanced himself from Hollywood after the end of Malcolm in the Middle. He has still appeared in the occasional TV episode and movie, including Criminal Minds, Pizza Man, and The Rookie. He’s also due to appear in a four-episode Malcolm in the Middle reboot on Disney+ that will debut later this year. His racing career will also hopefully get back on track after his 6-8 week recovery period.
