Jonah Hill says he will be stepping back from promoting upcoming films to protect his mental health.
The Hollywood star said media appearances and public facing events “exacerbated” his anxiety attacks, and that the decision was an “important step” for him. In a statement shared with US media outlets, he revealed he had finished directing his second film, titled Stutz – a documentary about him and his therapist which also explores mental health in general.
38-year-old Jonah said the film had taken him on a “journey of self-discovery” and hoped that it would “help those who are struggling.” His statement added: “The whole purpose of making this film is to give therapy and the tools I’ve learned in therapy to a wide audience for private use through an entertaining film.
