Frankie Muniz’s Cryptic Social Media Post Sparks Rumors of Tension with Malcolm Co-Stars

Former TV tyke Frankie Muniz was excited about doing a reboot of his hit series Malcolm in the Middle, but his cryptic social media comment on friendship — or the lack thereof — seems to suggest it’s not going so well!

Sources squeal that his message may be about his friends and costars from the show!

The buzz started after the Malcolm alum, 39, recently alluded to his troubles on X.

“Can’t sleep. Hard when you realize your friends aren’t really your friends,” he shared.

Cyberspace erupted in a mass of sympathy, with one writing, ‘Yo Frankie u good bro?” while another chimed, “Hang in there man,” and a third echoed, “Better to realize than to continue to be used. It does suck though.”

Insiders snitch that Frankie had seemed so upbeat about the Disney+ reboot of his popular millennial show that reunites him with TV parents Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek — but now he’s sending a different signal!

“The reboot isn’t playing out the way he thought, and people are whispering that Bryan and Jane have their own ideas and aren’t supporting his vision for the show,” spills a source.

“Frankie loves them both, but always considered himself the star of the original series. People are saying he doesn’t feel like the reboot puts enough of an emphasis on him!”

Insiders say that with Bryan such a huge star now and Jane so popular in the industry, Frankie is caught in the middle — and he’s not even sure he wants to do this now! A source adds that the three actors have been trying to work things out since the post appeared.
