Tom Holland was so caught up in negative comments that he was mentally exhausted. Therefore, the actor decided to delete social media.
On August 15, Tom Holland posted a 3-minute video, sharing that he will delete Instagram and Twitter from his electronic devices. The actor stayed away from social media to focus on taking care of his health and spirit.

Holland said it took him about an hour to get his thoughts out, and the Spider-Man: No Way Home star mentioned the UK-based youth mental health charity.
“I understand that people with mental health issues are often stigmatized terribly. However, for me, there is no shame in asking for and seeking help. We should do it,” he shared in the video.
Holland’s decision to temporarily stop social media activities surprised fans. Many comments sent wishes and encouragement for the actor to recover soon.
“Don’t worry, we understand but we will miss you too,” one person wrote. Another commented under the actor’s video: “Hope you have a better life away from toxic comments.”
