MANILA, Philippines — Actor Tom Holland will stepping away from the web for a little while — not his popular "Spider-Man" role but rather, the "overstimulating and overwhelming" tangles of social media.
The British actor posted a rare personal video on his Instagram account to announce that he was going to take a break from social media.
"I’ve taken a break from social media for my mental health because I find Instagram and Twitter to be overstimulating, to be overwhelming," Holland said after composing himself.
He continued by saying he spirals whenever he reads things about him online which were "very detrimental" to his mental state, thus he decided to delete such apps.
Following his announcement, Holland took the time to promote the charity program Stem4 and several of their apps, which help young children suffering from mental health issues.
