Tom Holland Reveals The Real Reason He Was Drinking
"I tried to position myself and say like, "I'm taking a break from social media because I feel like my mental health will benefit from it." And the thing that really upset me is the press ran with that, and they tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown."
Tom Holland alleges some outlets reframed his decision to delete Instagram while filming Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room as a “mental breakdown”. He says he took the break because he felt addicted to scrolling and believed it would benefit his mental health. He argues the coverage stigmatised people seeking help and misrepresented his situation.
