About his memory loss . . .


Frankie says that he can’t remember doing Malcom In the Middle and that when he’s gone to a doctor to ask about it they have told him that nothing was wrong, that he was ‘crazy’, In his words. He says that he has had concussions and mini strokes but these haven’t been confirmed by a doctor with just one concussion after a crash was confirmed.

I wonder if his memory loss isn’t psychosomatic, being a child star does terrible things to the fragile minds of children. I hope this isn’t the case but I wonder what other people think?

Well I had heard that he had a stroke years ago, but if he never had it confirmed by a doctor then I have to wonder if he isn't suffering from celebrity bullshit disease where he just makes shit up.

Could be he's just an eccentric who makes outrageous things up to sound more interesting. There certainly are plenty of those in that business. I wonder what the people who know him think

reply

Bryan Cranston was really sweet when he heard about Frankie's memory loss he said that Frankie doesn't need to remember because he will remember for him and tell him all about it so he can build new memories about it.

He's rather young to have a stroke isn't he?

reply

It's a very rare thing among people his age.

reply

He called them mini strokes . . .I guess that's a real thing, it's not a full on stroke it's like a blip event where the brain is deprived of oxygen.

reply

I'm so sorry for his memory loss.

reply

Me too, that would be awful for anyone. I just watched a documentary about a man with a 2 minute memory! It's so sad!

reply

WOW...YOU WOULD THINK THIS... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1629766/ ...WOULD BE WHAT HE WOULD WANT TO FORGET.

TIA is a real thing. I used to have a friend that suffers from them. In his case he got really violent which is why we are no longer friends. Started happening to him in his late 20s.

Ugg that's awful! I'm so sorry about your friend :(
