Hey there! You know Frankie Muniz, right? He’s the guy who played Agent Cody Banks and made us laugh in "Big Fat Liar." Now, he's stepping into the world of ballroom dancing on Season 25 of Dancing with the Stars. But here's the thing: Frankie’s not just showing up to dance. He’s battling some serious health challenges, and fans are curious about how he broke his back. Let’s dive deeper into Frankie’s story and find out what he's been through before hitting the dance floor.
From Child Star to Racer: Frankie’s Hidden Past
Before Frankie became a Dancing with the Stars contestant, he had an adventurous life far from the world of Hollywood. Between his acting gigs, Frankie pursued a career as a professional race car driver. Imagine this: speeding down the track at breakneck speeds, feeling the adrenaline rush through your veins. But that thrill came with risks. In the premiere episode of Dancing with the Stars, Frankie opened up to his partner, Witney Carson, about a devastating crash that changed everything. “I had a crash, broke my back, and injured my hands and ribs,” he admitted. It’s a story that many fans didn’t know until now.

Life After the Crash: Frankie’s Daily Struggles
Frankie’s injuries didn’t just happen overnight; they’ve been lingering for years. In a candid interview with People, Frankie revealed the challenges of living with a "creaky, old body." Even though he's only 31, he feels like he's 71. “We talk about my injuries every day,” he said. But instead of letting it defeat him, Frankie is taking charge. He’s doing everything possible to keep his body in shape for the competition. “I’m in the sauna, icing, and doing everything I can to make me a better dancer,” he added. Frankie’s determination is remarkable, especially considering he also suffered a mini-stroke in 2012. Despite it all, he’s ready to prove himself on the dance floor.

Witney Carson: Frankie’s Secret Weapon

We’re having a blast.” Their chemistry is undeniable, and it’s clear that Witney is helping Frankie push through his fears. “I’m so scared to dance in front of people,” Frankie confessed. “I didn’t even know if I could dance, but now that I’m doing it, I don’t want to stop anytime soon.” The duo is bringing their A-game to Dancing with the Stars, and we can’t wait to see what they’ll accomplish next.
