Chris Evans and Taron Egerton are bidding social media adieu – at least for now.
Taron took to his Instagram Stories on Thursday (June 29) to reveal that he will be taking a break until the end of 2023. He wrote:
“I’m going to take a break from social media for a while. I’m not sure why I’m making a big declaration about it; I just think it’s hard to break away from a cycle that I’ve grown to find a bit addictive and this is me making a commitment to myself.
I’ve gotten myself into a place where I spend too much time scrolling and I actually feel like my ability to sit and be present and read books and watch movies and even seek out the company of people I love is eroding as a result. I feel a bit removed from myself. And with regards to work, I know I am capable of more and IG is one of several impediments to me getting there.
Thanks everyone for saying such nice things all the time; I so appreciate it but I just need to not read the thoughts of strangers for a while; I’m really not sure this stuff is very good for any of us.”
Following Taron’s announcement, Chris likewise took to his social pages to announce that he was also taking a break. However, Chris seems to just be taking the summer off from social media.
Chris shared a screen cap of Taron’s post on his own Instagram Stories, and wrote:
“Couldn’t have said it better myself!!! Count me in. Gonna take a little break. Much love everyone!”
On Twitter, Chris added:
“Hey everyone, I’m treating myself to a summer with less screen time so I’m taking a little break from Twitter and IG. See you soon! Much love!”
