(CNN) — Tom Holland learned the value of prioritizing his mental health after producing and starring in his upcoming AppleTV+ miniseries “The Crowded Room.”
That’s part of what has led the “Spider-Man” star to take a break from acting to just be a “regular guy from Kingston and just relax,” he told Extra in an interview published Tuesday. .
With a heavy subject matter related to mental health, making “The Crowded Room” was “a difficult time,” Holland said, because I was “exploring certain emotions that I definitely had never experienced before.”
Inspired by Daniel Keyes’ 1981 novel “The Minds of Billy Milligan,” the miniseries follows a young man’s arrest for a shocking crime and the “unlikely investigator” who solves the mystery behind it, according to a synopsis.
And while Holland said he “really enjoyed” making the series, he added that ultimately, “the show broke me.”
“There came a time when I thought I needed a break. I disappeared, went to Mexico for a week and spent time on the beach and chilled out, and now I’m taking a year off and that’s a result of how hard this show was,” he said.
Thanks to his friends, family, co-stars and an on-set psychologist, Holland said he felt supported throughout the entire process. He even said that the experience changed him for the better, and that he feels that he has “grown up” a lot.
Holland also told EW in May that his experience on set led to the decision to take a break from drinking.
On his break from acting, Holland told Extra this week that he’s been spending his time traveling, seeing family and friends, and playing golf. She has even invested time “buying plants and doing everything she can to keep them alive.”
“The Crowded Room” will be available to stream on AppleTV+ this June 9.
