Jonah Hill will no longer promote his new movies to avoid anxiety attacks
nypost.comJonah Hill announced that he will not be promoting his soon-to-be-released documentary film — or any upcoming projects for the foreseeable future — to avoid the anxiety attacks he often suffers during press tours.
The 38-year-old actor penned an open letter to share and explain his decision to cease promoting any new movies indefinitely in order to focus on his mental health.
Hill — whose new documentary “Sputz” focuses on his mental health struggles — said that for nearly two decades, he has been inflicted with anxiety attacks that are worsened by media appearances and public-facing events. “Through this journey of self-discovery within the film, I have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events,” Hill wrote in the open letter first published by Deadline.
