Actor, musician, and open-wheel race car driver Frankie Muniz has done it all.  As “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” a reboot of the hit series, heads to Disney+, Muniz shared publicly where his focus lies.

“I am proud to say I live for Jesus Christ,” Muniz said in a social media post.

As Frankie Muniz Reaches His 40th Birthday, He Is ‘Proud’ To ‘Live for Jesus Christ’

Muniz has quite a long resumé of accomplishments and experiences. Beginning as a child actor, Muniz was fast-tracked to stardom at a young age—with several awards through the years. After his acting career was well underway, Muniz played drums for a band: You Hang Up. He has also been a successful real estate investor and business owner.

“I felt like I’d lived 80 years already,” he told US Weekly, “because I just did so much.”

In the midst of a zigzag career path with success along the way, Muniz recently posted on social media about his faith.

“Happy Sunday!” the post began. “I am proud to say I live for Jesus Christ. Who’s with me?”

It’s unclear how long Muniz has been a Christian. With well over 2 million views, fans have reacted to his post. Most are encouraging, while there are some who are critical. Still others are joining in the conversation with curiousity about faith in Jesus Christ.

One fan commented with a photo of him and his wife. “My wife and I got saved today,” he said.

“I’ve been feeling like I should lately,” said another. “I have a hard time believing though.”

As a fan of “Malcom in the Middle,” one commenter added a tongue-in-cheek clip of co-star Bryan Cranston, who played Malcolm’s dad, Hal. “Frankie, you know once you proclaim you live for Jesus Christ, there’s no going back,” he said.

Someone else said, “So crazy to see little Malcom being in NASCAR. I always forget that he is there. It seems it makes him happy and obviously, he knows Jesus and spreads his faith.”
