Jonah Hill is done making media appearances after decades of quietly battling anxiety attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public-facing events,\u201d the actor, 38, wrote in a statement to Deadline Wednesday regarding his lack of promotion for his upcoming documentary, \u201cStutz.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hill noted that while he was \u201cgrateful\u201d for the chance to share the movie with others who are also \u201cstruggling,\u201d he did not plan to promote it \u2014 or any other upcoming projects.<\/p>\n

The \u201cSuperbad\u201d star called the decision an \u201cimportant step to protect\u201d himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I made myself sicker by going out there and promoting it, I wouldn’t be acting true to myself or to the movie,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this letter and with ‘Stutz,’ I’m hoping to make it more normal for people to talk and act on this stuff,\u201d Hill continued. \u201cSo they can take steps towards feeling better and so that the people in their lives might understand their issues more clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

While this is the Oscar nominee’s first time addressing his mental health at length, he has been open in the past about the struggles of being in the public eye.<\/p>\n

In October 2021, Hill, who has made headlines for his weight gains and losses, asked fans to stop commenting on his body.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood or bad I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good,\u201d he wrote via Instagram at the time, adding that he knew people \u201cmean<\/p>\n

The \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street\u201d star has since deleted his Instagram account.<\/p>\n

While Hill’s girlfriend, Sarah Brady, does have a presence on the social media platform, the 25-year-old surfer rarely gives glimpses into their romance.<\/p>\n

The pair have been Instagram-official since September 2021, with Hill denying engagement speculation five months later.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rumors are not true,\u201d he jokingly told his followers in February. \u201cI am engaged. But not to my girlfriend. I am engaged to your mom. I know this is shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
