Spider-Man star Tom Holland announces social media break citing mental health reasons

Tom Holland has said he is stepping away from social media for mental health-related reasons.

The Spider-Man: Homecoming star has been absent from social media in recent weeks. Holland said he had deleted the Twitter and Instagram apps from his phone and did not intend to post in the foreseeable future.

In a video explaining the move, the Uncharted star said: “I find Instagram and Twitter to be overstimulating, to be overwhelming. 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.”

Tom Holland also used the opportunity to speak about the teenage mental health charity Stem4, which he sponsors.

He spoke at length about the various apps that the charity provides, describing them as “fantastic” and “really helpful” for young people struggling with mental health. Check out the post below!
