During his time competing in the Australian version of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”, actor Frankie Muniz shared an incident from his time on the set of “Malcolm in the Middle”. Muniz revealed that he had once walked off set and refused to return for two episodes. He explained that the reason for his departure was due to the behaviour of “certain people” on set.

Additionally, it helped that the show was based around him, which seemingly gave him more leverage in the situation.
Just last week, Muniz made an announcement that “Malcolm in the Middle” was the “closest it’s ever been” to having a reboot.

He stated that if it happens, it’ll be soon but they’ve been saying that for eight years. Furthermore, this echoes the sentiments expressed by Bryan Cranston last year in an exclusive interview with “NME”. Cranston played father Hal in the series before his pivotal role as Walter White in “Breaking Bad.” Cranston explained that he has a greater appreciation for the show now and would love to dive in with all the characters again to do it justice.

The post concerned a recent emergency hospitalization and by posting a video explaining the situation, revealed that he was back in full health
