Tom Holland, the current Spiderman character, has revealed that he has been mute on social media so that he can focus on his mental health.
Holland shared a video on his Instagram, for the first time in six weeks revealing that he finds Twitter and Instagram to be overly stimulating and over overwhelming for him.
“I get caught up and I spiral when I read things about me online and ultimately it’s very detrimental to my mental state. So, I decided to take a step back and delete the app,” he said.
The Spiderman: Homecoming star and Zendaya’s boyfriend who has garnered over 67 million followers on Instagram and 7.4 million on Twitter shared that his mental health would spiral whenever he would read things online about himself.
Holland took the time to share the three-minute video which sheds light on an organization known as Stem4 which is a teenage mental health charity that helps people who are struggling with their mental health.
Notable celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Shane Oneil supported him and shared their love for him, encouraging him to take the needed break and return when he is much better.
Holland ended the video by thanking his fans for their love and support and to also let them know that he is going to continue taking time off of social media.
