After the life this man has had, that is spectacular! During Tuesday’s episode of Mayim Bialik‘s Breakdown podcast, Frankie Muniz revealed he has never had even the smallest taste of alcohol. Really — NEVER!? He’s 38!
Dropping this sudden revelation, the Malcolm within the Middle star mentioned he’s “never had a sip of alcohol” or taken medication — and it’s not as a result of he was raised to not. When requested if he was introduced up to not drink, he defined:
“Every family member in my family drinks. And that’s what they do for fun.”
Hah! So seems like he had each alternative to attempt. Why not take part?

This is one thing the Agent Cody Banks star has contemplated quite a bit, and he dished:
“I tried to figure out why I didn’t, because I don’t have a reason. It wasn’t, like, a religion.”
He thinks it’d stem from his “hatred toward time.” Since he was within the highlight from such a younger age, he grew up shortly. While many different little one stars used this as a possibility to show to substances prematurely, he went the opposite manner:
“When I was 15, 16 years old, I felt like I was so old. I had experienced so much. And I had experienced a lot in my life in comparison to most 15 or 16-year-olds, but even though I was in the entertainment business, I never saw it, meaning the drug use, any of that stuff. I somehow stayed away. I just went to the set and did my thing.”
Honestly, that’s actually spectacular! He should’ve had an excellent group round him as a result of we’ve heard very completely different tales from different little one stars! And it does sound like he was fairly sheltered, he famous:
“I grew up thinking the only people who smoked pot were criminals…on episodes of Cops. Now I talk to my dad about it and my mom, and they’re like, ‘We smoked pot every single day, you just didn’t know.’”
LOLz!
The actor claims he wasn’t even “around” alcohol till he was 18 — and by then, he wasn’t in any respect:
“In my mind, I felt like I had made it so long without it, I was like, ‘Well, I’m not going to start now, even though I was only 18.”
Because of his choice to not drink, he was usually met with “strong” reactions from others, the skilled race automotive driver recalled:
“I couldn’t believe everyone’s reactions when I said I don’t drink. ‘Oh, we’re at a club, we have a bottle. You want a drink?’ ‘No, I don’t drink. I’m good with water.’ Everyone was either shocked or … appalled that I didn’t drink. Or they’d be like, ‘Wow, that’s so strong of you.’”
The Big Fat Liar lead continued:
“I was always kind of like, ‘It’s so weird that people have such a strong reaction to me not drinking. Like, who cares? I don’t care what you do. Why do you care so much about me?’ I don’t know if I made a conscious decision, but it just stuck with me that I was never gonna drink or do anything.”
Now that he’s a totally-grown grownup, Frankie teased:
“But now I’m 38, and I think I’m going to start tonight. Only kidding.”
LMFAO! Can you think about if Mayim’s podcast made him change his entire philosophy on life? Hah! It’s loopy he’s gone this lengthy with out ever attempting a drink, particularly because it doesn’t sound like there was any traumatic motive for this alternative.
Hear Frankie focus on this and a lot extra within the full interview (beneath):
Thoughts? Do you suppose he’s actually by no means ever tried a sip? Sound OFF (beneath)!
