Muniz suffers mini stroke

“I was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a ‘Mini Stroke’, which was not fun at all. Have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!,” Muniz said on Twitter.

Muniz put his acting career on hold six years ago to race cars for a living, and earlier this year he joined a rock band.

According to celebrity website TMZ.com, Muniz was taken ill in Arizona last Friday when friends noticed he was having trouble speaking and understanding.

Muniz played the title role in the hit TV comedy Malcolm in the Middle for six years, and appeared in teen movies Big Fat Liar and Agent Cody Banks. Muniz is turned 27 yesterday.
