"I love it all just because it makes me feel good," he said. "I'm a high-stress person. I've got all this stuff going on."

"Even though I had a lot of good in my life, I felt like I was still like in a very anxious place, and it just puts me in the right, I think, frame of mind that I want to be in," he continued. "If that little bit of listening to the music could have that effect on me and then bring me down a different path and make my life better, like, I hope other people find that."

Muniz, now 39, catapulted to fame in the early 2000s by starring as the titular character in the coming-of-age sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle" and landing leading roles in the comedy films "Big Fat Liar" and "Agent Cody Banks." He has taken a step back from acting as an adult and embraced his passion for professional race car driving. 

Muniz's social media post last month is not the first time he has talked about his faith publicly.

In an Instagram post published in January, Muniz shared footage of himself listening to the worship song "Build my Life" by Pat Barrett, followed by video of himself getting pulled over by a police car. 

"Hilarious contrast of feeling good praising God, to being pissed off in the matter of minutes," Muniz wrote. "All part of His plan so you have to trust the good and the bad."
