Actor Tom Holland, who plays SpiderMan in the Marvel films, announced on his Instagram on Saturday night (13/8) that he is stepping back from social media to take care of his mental health.
“Hi guys I’ve been trying this for an hour and for someone who has spent the last 13, 14 years in acting I can’t say what I need to say without difficulty so I’m trying again. I took a break from social media to take care of my mental health because I find Instagram and Twitter overwhelming,” Holland said in a video.
“I feel trapped when I read things about myself online and it ends up hurting my mood. So I decided to take a step back and delete the app,” he added.
The post was also an initiative to publicize a charity for those who need to take care of their mental health. For this reason, he also emphasized the importance of asking for help during depression.
“I know there is a terrible stigma attached to mental health. I know we shouldn’t be ashamed to seek and ask for help, but it’s a lot easier said than done.”
In the comments, the actor received support from several followers, including some famous ones like singer Justin Bieber.
