AceShowbiz - Tom Holland feels the "pressures of public opinion." One of the most popular actors in Hollywood, the 27-year-old Marvel Cinematic Universe star admits that he is very conscious of the public's expectations.

"I wouldn't say I particularly have a history of issues with mental health," the actor, who is best known for playing Peter Parker in the Spider-Man film franchise, told The Hollywood Reporter. "I just feel like I am a young person living in a world where we are expected to share every moment online. We are under the pressures of public opinion and other people's opinions, and you've got these pressures of delivering to a certain standard. And it's stressful. It's hard."

Tom has gained a huge following on social media during the course of his career. Despite this, the London-born actor has made a concerted effort to distance himself from various platforms in recent times. He shared, "It's tough when every time you leave your front door, you are working. You're on camera."

"I can't walk around New York without clicking everywhere I go. And social media was bringing that outside world into my house," he went on to share. "I just had to get rid of it. I needed to get back to reality, remind myself of who I am and where I'm from, and just live my life as normally as possible, in my abnormal way. Which is my career, I guess."

In August 2022, Tom took to Instagram to announce that he was taking a break from social media to focus on his mental health. He said on Instagram at the time, "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."
