British actor Idris Elba has revealed that he will be quitting social media for some time as the contents on the space, especially those of him are making him sink into depression.
In an exclusive interview with Fast Company magazine, the 47-year-old DJ noted that he used to be a very active user of the social media but he’s been trying to wean himself as he is not proud of the news he sees, particularly on Twitter. Idris Elba admitted that though the news be true, they make him depressed. “I’ve been trying to wean myself off. “I used to post a lot more, but it’s been putting me off lately. And Twitter’s just not how I want to receive my news. I read the news aggregated on my iPad, but I can’t check it constantly – I’m not proud of it, but it’s true – because it makes me feel depressed“, he said.
Revealing that he has found a way to find peace in his spare time, he said, “I’ll just sit in the dark, stare, and try not to do anything-just clear my mind and decompress.” The star’s dual careers mean that moments of free time are few and far between, however, and he only sleeps “four or five” hours a night, and schedules his time in terms of projects rather than days or hours.

My home base is London, but I could be working anywhere around the world. I pretty much know my schedule for the whole year, and I think of it in terms of blocks of time, where each project is a block“, he said. Photos Credit: Getty
