Frankie Muniz Says Hilary Duff Friendship Ended After 'Agent Cody Banks' Casting

He blames intervention by Duff’s mother for a decision he says blindsided him.

Overview

  • Muniz said he and Duff were close as teen stars but fell out after working together on the 2003 film.
  • He described Susan Duff as an “intense” stage mom and said “calls were made” that led to Duff’s casting without his input despite his contract.
  • He said they remained professional during production yet never spoke again after the last day of filming.
  • Muniz expressed regret over letting the situation end the friendship and said he would like to reconnect.
  • Coverage stems from his Sept. 2 Joe Vulpis Podcast interview, and multiple outlets report Duff’s representatives have not immediately responded to requests for comment.
