Jonah Hill is taking a step back from the limelight.

The War Dogs actor announced in a statement on Wednesday that he will stop promoting his own films due to the toll it takes on his mental health. Hill said he came to this realization during the filming of a documentary called Stutz that focuses on his conversations with his therapist.

Through this journey of self-discovery within the film, I 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, Hill told Deadline in a statement.

He added: If I made myself sicker by going out there and promoting it, I wouldnt be acting true to myself or to the film.

Hill said he would normally cringe at letters or statements like this. He also acknowledged his privilege in being able to take time off.
