Tom Holland Is Taking A Social Media Break For His Mental Health

Tom Holland revealed over the weekend that he’s stepping away from social media platforms in order to take better care of his mental health.

The Spider-Man: No Way Home star hasn’t been active on Instagram and Twitter for a few months now. In a video posted to Instagram Sunday (August 14), he provided fans with an explanation. He captioned the video:

Holland told his 67.7 million Instagram followers in the video, "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."

Later in the video, Holland added, "There is an awful stigma against mental health and I know that asking for help and seeking help isn’t something that we should be ashamed of, but it is something that is much easier said than done."

At the end of his post, Holland thanked his fans for listening and said he will "disappear from Instagram again. I love you all — and I’ll speak to you soon."

Now that the Spider-Man: No Way Home teaser trailer has been officially released, we are dying to talk about our favorite moments. Below, we have timecoded standout scenes from the upcoming Marvel movie.

As Tom Holland's Spider-Man carries MJ through what looks to be Times Square, J K Simmons' iconic voice says, "That's right folks. Spider-Man is in fact Peter Parker!" He appears on a few monitors with what seems to be the Daily Bugle's logo, then showing a split photo of Peter and Spider-Man with "Public Enemy #1" across it.

As Peter runs into Doctor Strange's home, everything is covered in powdery, white snow. You can even see a guy shoveling snow in the corner when Peter arrives. We guess Doctor Strange never got around to fixing that hole Hulk left from Infinity War. Also, how great is it that even with a hoodie and puffer jacket, Doctor Strange still manages to throw his coveted cape over?

As you hear that sinister laugh we all know too well from the first Spider-Man (2002) movie, a bomb gets dropped -- and quite literally as Green Goblin's bomb bounces onto a highway packed with cars. "Be careful what you wish for, Parker."

The first multiverse reveal comes via Alfred Molina reprising his role from Spider-Man 2 as Otto Octavius, stepping into frame with his infamous Doc Ock arms. He sinisterly says, "Hello, Peter," to who we believe will be Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, as Doc Ock wouldn't know who Tom Holland's Spider-Man is. We must wait and see for any upcoming trailers confirming Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man characters in the multiverse.

Nothing is funnier or puts you on the edge of your seat more than this scene where Peter Parker is starting to regret his decision in having people forget he's Spider-Man. The more he spirals in the idea of MJ forgetting all their moments together, the more he ruins Doctor Strange's concentration -- which ultimately leads to tampering with the stability of space-time.
