Tom Holland has said he will take a year-long break from acting in order to look after his mental health.
The English Spider-Man star admitted he had a "tough time" while working on his latest project, The Crowded Room, and had been left feeling broken by it.
Holland, 27, both stars in and produced the Apple TV+ thriller series, reports BBC.
It sees him play a character loosely based on "the campus rapist" Billy Milligan, a US man who claimed to have 24 alternate personalities.
Milligan was the first person to be found not guilty of his crimes by reason of insanity - on the basis of dissociative identity disorder - and instead of going to prison he spent a decade in psychiatric hospitals.
In an interview with Extra TV on Wednesday, Holland said the role found him "exploring certain emotions that I have definitely never experienced before", while the off-camera responsibilities had added an "extra level of pressure".
"I'm no stranger to hard work," he said. "I've lived by the idea that hard work is good work. Then again, the show did break me.
"There did come a time where I needed a break and disappeared and went to Mexico for a week and had time on a beach and laid low.
"I'm now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was. I am excited to see how it turns out. I feel like our hard work wasn't in vain."
"It was a tough time, for sure," he added.
