Jonah Hill is once again prioritizing his mental health. After speaking openly about his struggles with self-love, the actor has now revealed that, following a 20-year struggle with anxiety attacks, he’ll no longer be doing press tours and media rounds to hype up his movies. Hill released an open letter to fans, in which he explained, per Rolling Stone, that public events have always made his anxiety worse and that he no longer wants to make himself sick for the benefit of others. “You won’t see me out there promoting this film, or any of my upcoming films, while I take this important step to protect myself,” he wrote.
The actor actually has two big upcoming projects in post-production, including the Netflix comedy “You People,” which he co-wrote, produced, and stars in opposite an A-list cast, including David Duchovny, Eddie Murphy, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The other flick, a documentary called “Stutz,” is actually what inspired his decision to pull back from the spotlight. The doc follows Hill’s own mental health journey and how therapy has helped him and pushed the actor to realize the importance of putting yourself first. And, while he acknowledged that he’s privileged to be able to make such a choice and keep his job, Hill said he hopes “Stutz” will give those who are also struggling the tools they need and inspire everyone to talk about mental health without judgment. As for the whole media promo thing, he concluded, “I hope the work will speak for itself.”
