Known for starring in films such as ’21 Jump Street’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, the 38-year-old will explore mental health and the impact of his job on his anxiety in his upcoming documentary, ‘Stutz “.

“Through this journey of self-discovery in film, I realized that I had spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and events that audiences are faced,” Hill added.

In light of this, the actor said he would not promote the documentary, in order to “protect himself”, although he said he “looks forward to sharing it with audiences around the world. in the hope that it will help those struggling.”

“If I made myself sicker by going out and promoting, I wouldn’t be true to myself or to the movie,” says the actor who directed the film, who he hopes “will speak of himself”.

The same goes for his other upcoming projects.

Hill last appeared in the 2021 film “Don’t Look Up,” which was nominated for four Oscars. He is set to star in the comedy “You People,” which is currently in post-production and slated to premiere this year.

“I understand that I’m one of the privileged few who can afford to take time off. I won’t lose my job working on my anxiety,” he said.
