The actor Daisy Ridley, who will soon be seen on the big screen when she reprises her role as Rey in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, has said social media is “highly unhealthy for people’s mental health”.
In an interview with the Radio Times, Ridley described social media as damaging to mental health, especially for teenagers.
Ridley has been vocal about quitting social media, and left Instagram last year after a backlash for sharing a post about victims of gun violence.
Ridley said she had refrained from making extravagant purchases with her Star Wars earnings, and described the perks of flying first class for the press tour.
