JAKARTA - Tom Holland announced that he would be taking a break from the world of social media. The reason he admitted this was done for the sake of his mental health condition.

The actor is not very active on the internet. But a video he shared on Sunday, August 14 local time.

"I'm going to take a break from social media for my mental health because I think the influence of Instagram and Twitter is just too great," said Tom Holland.

According to him, he feels trapped when he reads something about himself online. In the end the habit damaged his mental health.

“I feel dizzy reading things about me online and it's ruining my condition. So I decided to take a step back and delete the app."

At the same time, Tom Holland also wants to share the Stem4 program, an educational program for young people to manage their mental health.

"There's a bad stigma around mental health and I know asking for help is nothing to be afraid of," said the Spider-Man star.

“Thank you for your love and support. I love all of you and I will talk to you later," he concluded.

Tom Holland himself admitted that it took him an hour to assemble the words and make the video. On the other hand, he is preparing the Fred Astaire biopic and The Crowded Room series.
