Tom Holland has announced he is taking a break from social media after finding the apps to be ‘overwhelming’.  The Spider-Man: No Way Home actor, who boasts a staggering 67.

7million Instagram followers, shared his most recent post on July 2. He made a brief return on Saturday night to explain that he’s decided to delete the apps in order to protect his mental health.

In a new video, captioned ‘hello and goodbye’, the 26-year-old explained: ‘I have taken a break from social media for my mental health, because 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.  ‘On this very, very brief return to Instagram, I thought it would be very important and a good idea to shed some light on a charity that we sponsor which is stem4.

Stem4 is a wonderfully innovative education program. Its pioneering apps, clinically advised website, and its mental health conferences helped contribute towards helping young kids who were suffering. ’ He continued: ‘So thank you for listening, but something that’s also very important is that these charities also need help.
