"Spider-Man" star Tom Holland is calling it quits on social media for the time being.
The British actor, who is dating his Marvel co-star Zendaya, shared a video to Instagram, beginning his caption with, "Hello and goodbye."
Holland detailed his struggles with Instagram and Twitter in particular, saying, "I have taken a break from social media for my mental health."
The 26-year-old continued, "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."

As a member of a beloved franchise and one half of a high-profile relationship, Holland is constantly in the headlines.
In an interview with GQ, Holland recently revealed he suffers from sleep paralysis - due in part to his massive surge in fame.
