Former child star turned NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz is taking on a new challenge – going incognito as a senior citizen at the prestigious Ford Performance Racing School. In a hilarious new YouTube video released on his Instagram, Muniz and fellow racer James (whose full identity isn’t revealed) transform themselves into elderly characters named ‘Bern and Herb’ for what appears to be a comedic undercover adventure.
The transformation is impressively convincing, with Muniz seemingly embracing the character of ‘Bern’ with enthusiasm. The video appears to be part of a collaboration with Ford Performance, combining Muniz’s acting skills with his passion for motorsports.
The Seasoned Rookies Hit The Track
This latest YouTube release follows a teaser Muniz posted a day earlier, where he introduced the characters as “Bern and Herb: Two ‘seasoned’ rookies with a need for speed… and bifocals.” The comedic premise seems to involve the duo posing as senior citizens looking to fulfill their racing dreams at the professional driving school.
The Multifaceted Career Of Frankie Muniz
Muniz first rose to fame as the title character in ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ (2000-2006), earning Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his performance. After the show ended, he pursued various interests including a professional racing career, starting with the Formula BMW USA Championship in 2006 and eventually moving to stock car racing.
The 38-year-old has maintained a connection to his acting roots while pursuing his passion for motorsports. In a recent Instagram post reflecting on his NASCAR season, Muniz wrote: “The highs of a top 10 at Daytona are so high, and the lows of an unfortunate mechanical issue at Martinsville are pretty low. But that’s what fuels you to keep going back and fighting harder.”
A Social Media Glimpse Into Muniz’s Life
Beyond racing and acting, Muniz shares glimpses of his personal life on social media. He recently celebrated his wife Paige’s birthday with a heartfelt post, writing: “9 years ago, we held each other in this, our very first photo together. Hearts racing, smiling huge, and no idea of the incredible journey ahead.”
The “Drivers In Disguise” video series appears to be the latest creative project for Muniz, allowing him to blend his acting talents with his racing passion in a uniquely entertaining format. Fans can watch the full video on YouTube to see how Bern and Herb’s undercover adventure at the Ford Performance Racing School unfolds.
Whether he’s behind the wheel of a race car or in front of a camera, Frankie Muniz continues to demonstrate his versatility as an entertainer – even when disguised as an elderly racing enthusiast named Bern.
