Frankie Muniz wants to be a race-car driver
Malcolm is still in the middle ... of a major life decision. Ok! says Frankie Muniz, who's now 22 and no longer a jug-eared honor student, is packing it all in and moving to Arizona to become a full-time race-car driver. Hmm, out-of-work actor to also-ran racer -- tough move there, Frankie.
But it's apparently all true. The mag says Muniz has put his West Hollywood house on the market for $3.7 million.
"He's moving to Scottsdale," a source tells Ok!. "He's decided to focus his energy on racing and feels that he doesn't need a home in Hollywood anymore."
We're more likely to think he doesn't need a home in Hollywood because he hasn't done any real acting since his Fox sitcom went off the air in 2006. Seriously, we're not holding our breath for The Legend of Secret Pass.

Muniz obviously knows he's not much of a movie draw; leaving Hollywood and pursuing other interests hopefully means he won't end up like so many other ex-child stars.
