In a segment shown on the “Dancing with the Stars” Most Memorable Year episode, Frankie Muniz said the year he landed “Malcolm in the Middle” doesn’t rank high among the highlights of his life because he could barely remember it, Time reported. However, Muniz believes his interview was edited to make it more dramatic. “The way it got cut together and the way they put it was that I have zero memory of anything,” he said on the “Pardon My Take” podcast on July 18. What Muniz meant was the great amount of episodes blurred together into one long, distant experience. “I don’t remember everything,” he explained.
Muniz also explained he hasn’t actually suffered any mini-strokes, or Transient Ischemic Attack, like he previously described. “I was — and this was only recently figured out — wrongfully diagnosed with TIAs,” he said. “I was having these episodes where, like, I’d lose my vision, I couldn’t recognize faces, couldn’t talk, all this kind of stuff.” He was actually suffering from aura migraines, or severe headaches accompanied by “sensory disturbances,” according to Mayo Clinic.
Muniz has indeed suffered nine concussions since childhood, though he doesn’t believe they are fully responsible for his memory troubles, as he opened up on “Steve-O’s Wild Ride!” podcast in December. “I don’t want to blame the concussions or blame anything else. I just think it’s the fact that I did so [expletive] much in that timeframe,” he said.
