Frankie Gets Candid on Fame & Child Actors
Despite being a highly successful public figure in multiple industries, Muniz says that he never cared about being famous. And the mistake that many child actors make is believing that the fame will continue.
"I think a lot of people who get into the business or find popularity or fame or whatever it may be — success at a young age — you expect it to continue," the actor/driver said in an exclusive with Page Six.
Muniz went on to explain that because of that expectation, some people are left in a state of shock when the fame does ultimately dwindle. This can often lead them to look for that adoration in other places.
"You expect it to always be there. And as that starts to go away, as the phone rings less and less, I feel like that's shocking, like that rejection or the feeling of rejection is shocking for a lot of people to take," he continued. "And maybe they go and look for something else to fill that void or fill that feeling that they are being wanted or needed or admired."
