Frankie Muniz always had “great common sense,” according to TV mom Jane Kaczmarek.

“He always had a really great common sense about him,” Kaczmarek, who reunited with Muniz for the revival of the early 2000s hit “Malcolm in the Middle,” told Fox News Digital. “He was always a good kid. He never got into a lot of the trouble that I think some actors can.”

Bryan Cranston, who is also returning as Muniz’s father in “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” added that the now-40-year-old doesn’t drink or do drugs.

“He never has. Nope. And he’s always been very ambitious and very curious,” Cranston said.

The “Breaking Bad” actor said that when they worked together on the original series when Muniz was a teenager, he would sometimes try to make suggestions about how to handle his money responsibly.

“For example, he bought a race car when he was 16 years old,” Cranston explained. “Like a hyped-up kind of race car. And I said, ‘Frankie, you gotta save your money now. Now’s the time to save your — and do this,’ and after, he waited patiently, ‘You gotta do this. This is how you work, you know, make sure that you can stay an actor, OK?’ And he goes, ‘I already sold it and made a $40,000 profit.’ I went, ‘Good, good.”

Kaczmarek added that she remembered sitting in makeup with him, and he told her he was thinking of buying some warehouses in Australia.

“And I said, ‘What?’” she laughed, explaining that he was getting into real estate as a teenage actor.

Cranston said it also “warms” his heart now to see him as a husband and a father and to his son.

“How patient, how loving he is to the boy,” Cranston added, “and how kind he is to his wife and protective. And it’s like, ‘Oh my God, he’s there.’ He arrived, and he’s intact, and he is safe, and he’s smart and he is doing all the right things in the best way possible.”

Muniz married his wife, Paige Price, in 2019 and they share their 5-year-old son Muaz.

Ever the mother, Kaczmarek joked that she never wants Muniz to climb a ladder again because he fell trying to change a lightbulb and broke his wrist last year.

“I’m like, ‘Frankie, never, ever go on, don’t ever put up Christmas tree lights. Don’t —‘ I mean, ladders are the, such a — people die from falling off ladders,” Kaczmarek said.

Cranston joked: “So, he’s not doing all the right things.”

Muniz told Fox News Digital last year that moving from Los Angeles to Arizona after the show ended was pivotal for him.

“I say moving to Arizona from Los Angeles saved my life in the sense that I just really started enjoying the little aspects of life,” he explained. “I realized I left my house like just looking down all the time. And when I moved to Arizona, I started looking up.”

 Muniz said the slower pace in Arizona helped him reconnect with everyday life in a way L.A. never allowed.

“I mean, going to the store, like just doing things, was a lot easier. Los Angeles was just very hectic and busy, and everyone’s kind of in Hollywood trying to be seen or whatever it may be, and just really wasn’t my cup of tea.”

Muniz said Arizona offered a sense of normalcy he couldn’t find in L.A., where the culture often kept him indoors and disconnected from everyday life. 

He explained, “Moving to Arizona definitely allowed me to… it made me want to do more normal things, if that makes sense. I found myself in Los Angeles just staying at my house unless I had to go to work. I just didn’t really want to leave.”

Muniz told Australia’s PEDESTRIAN.TV in 2024 that he wouldn’t want his son to become a child actor.

“I would never let my kid go into the business,” Muniz said before shooting the Australian version of the reality series “I’m a Celebrity  … Get Me Out of Here,” according to E! News. “And not that I had a negative experience, because to be honest, my experience was 100% positive. But I know so many people, friends that were close to me, that had such insanely negative experiences.”

Muniz told Zach Sang on his podcast on Wednesday that he always felt like an outsider in show business, which he attributed partially to “imposter syndrome.”

“Where like you go from just being a kid who kind of wanted to be an actor, but I did a bunch of things and then all of a sudden, like you’re here, right? You’re in Hollywood. You’re going to all the things. You’re nominated for awards, and I’m like I don’t, how am I even invited, like how am I even here?”

He said he’d also always questioned himself as an actor and felt like he got “lucky.”

But, the actor has a “greater appreciation” now for everything he experienced.

“I had a great time but when you’re in it you don’t really notice the impact that it has, per se, you know what I mean? Like, you know, people are watching it but like having stepped away from it for such a long time and for 20 years, to be able to look back and go like, man, I am so lucky that I got to do that.”

Muniz, who is now a professional racecar driver, said he was shocked after he left the entertainment industry to hear of people calling him a “failed” actor.

“And I remember thinking like, do people really think that? Like, you know, I don’t know. I did 40 movies and had a TV show for seven years and not to talk about money– made tens of millions of dollars. Like, I don’t know if I failed, you know?”

“Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” premiered April 10 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

A viral new treat at Yankee Stadium in New York City was gobbled up almost as soon as it arrived last weekend — flying off concession stands in one inning.

The team’s Mini Dessert “Chicken” Bucket — ice cream designed to resemble a fried chicken drumstick — sold out after drawing intense fan demand during the opening homestand, according to reports.

The dessert features vanilla ice cream coated in caramelized white chocolate and candied cornflakes with a chocolate-covered pretzel “bone.” It quickly became a social media sensation after it was previewed ahead of the 2026 season, as The New York Post reported.

The $10.99 dessert, which comes in a mini souvenir bucket, drew long lines from the outset. 

Fans packed concession areas at Yankee Stadium, with some reporting waits of 20 minutes or more just to try the limited-time item.

“Given how well-received the item was on media day, interest from fans was tremendous, and we sold out of the item by the first inning of Saturday’s game,” Yankees senior director of communications Michael Margolis said in a statement to The Athletic after the April 4 game.

The Yankees had initially expected their supply to last through the team’s six-game homestand against the Miami Marlins and Oakland Athletics, according to reports.

Fans who were lucky enough to snag an order were struck by the uncanny resemblance to a real drumstick. 

“It really looks and feels like a drumstick,” one fan told The Athletic. “I would not have known the difference.”

Even veteran Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay — known for rating stadium chicken tenders on social media — gave the dessert high praise. 

“It can’t be better,” Kay said in a video review, adding that its quality helps explain why it sold out so quickly.

Online, many fans expressed disappointment that they could not get their hands on the dessert in time.

“They’re all sold out here in the stadium,” one Instagram user commented on Kay’s video, asking, “How did you manage to find one?”

Massachusetts-based content creator Cameron Guzzo tried the treat during a concession preview and gave it a solid 8 out of 10.

“Such a fun idea,” Guzzo said in a TikTok video. “All in all, the flavors work really well together, and it’s a super fun dessert item, but the messiness does knock it down just a hair for me,” he added after the drumstick broke in half, and he nearly dropped it on the floor.

The Yankees’ culinary team, led by executive chef Robert Flowers, has emphasized creative concessions as part of a broader effort to elevate the game-day experience.

The Mini Dessert “Chicken” Bucket was introduced alongside a wide range of new menu items for the 2026 season, including specialty burgers, desserts and international offerings, according to the Major League Baseball (MLB) website.

Among them are bacon cheeseburger dumplings, loaded mac and cheese, apple pie nachos and the buzz-worthy “Petroni Tiramisu” served in a mini Yankees helmet.

The ice cream bucket’s success mirrors past Yankee Stadium hits, such as the “99 Burger,” named after Bronx Bombers captain Aaron Judge’s No. 99.

But it is not the only stadium food to go viral this season. 

The demand highlights a growing trend toward over-the-top and oversized stadium fare, including dishes like the Houston Astros’ “brisket donuts” and the Miami Marlins’ massive folded tortillas, Fox News Digital recently reported.

For now, fans hoping to try the viral ice cream dessert will have to wait. 

The Yankees said they plan to notify customers through Instagram posts when the item is restocked.

Archaeologists have uncovered ancient skeletons beneath a school site in France — all buried in an unusual seated position.

The discovery was announced by Inrap, France’s national institution for preventive archaeology, in a press release in March.

The skeletons were found on the grounds of the Josephine Baker school complex in Dijon, roughly 195 miles southeast of Paris. The campus serves students from preschool through elementary school.

The graves date to the Gallic period in France, a time when Celtic tribes known as the Gauls lived in the region.

The Gallic period lasted from the fifth century B.C. to 50 B.C., when Julius Caesar conquered the area.

Inrap first found similar Gallic burials at the site in 2024. 

While excavators found 13 graves two years ago, they discovered “five to six” new graves during the most recent excavation — three of which formed a second, parallel line.

Pictures of the site show archaeologists working as sections of ground are carefully excavated into circular pits, with skeletons positioned inside.

Inrap said the new graves were “seated at the bottom of the pit, [their] backs against the eastern wall, facing west,” according to a translated release.

“Their arms rest along the torso, with hands near the pelvis or femurs,” the release described.

“Their legs are tightly flexed, often asymmetrically.”

Adding to the mystery, archaeologists found no personal items or grave offerings, other than a black stone armband dated to the third century B.C.

Archaeologists have released few details about the site, but noted that the graves found in 2024 showed “signs of unhealed violence.”

The injuries “likely indicate intentional killing,” Inrap said — and included cuts on an upper arm bone.

“One individual suffered two blows from a sharp object (possibly a sword) to the skull,” the release said.

Officials also said the discovery is significant for the number of burials and “the good state of skeletal preservation.”

“Examples of individuals buried in a seated position are known from as early as the Mesolithic and, although rare, throughout prehistory,” the statement said.

“Only about a dozen archaeological sites have yielded around 50 ‘seated’ burials, typically located near elite residences, sanctuaries or places of worship, and set apart from standard cemeteries.”

Archaeologists are still investigating whether the individuals were warriors, members of elite families or figures tied to religious practices.

Fox News Digital reached out to Inrap for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

The latest find is one of many recent notable archaeological discoveries in France.

Last year, Inrap archaeologists uncovered 16th-century gallows, in which condemned prisoners were put on display during the Protestant Reformation.

Last summer, officials announced the discovery of a rare 16th-century shipwreck in French waters, found at record depth.
