"Bandersnatch" actor Will Poulter has clarified that he has taken short break from Twitter and will be back on it soon.
The 26-year-old actor had announced early this year that he is taking a break from the micro-blogging website after he was trolled for his performance in the Netflix show.
In an interview with The Independent, Poulter said his reason for leaving the social media platform was misconstrued by the people. He said it had nothing to do with how "Bandersnatch" was received.
"There are positives to enjoy and inevitable negatives that are best avoided (and) it's a balance that I have struggled with for a while now. I'm really glad I made the decision to take a step back and just readdress my relationship with social media.
"Unfortunately, there are things I've had to clear up. I wrote what I thought was quite a detailed statement, but (people thought it was) in response to the critical reception of 'Bandersnatch', which was untrue; my decision to step away from Twitter for a brief period and not quit in italics and underlined if you don't mind was based on a sum of things I experienced regarding how people treat others online," the actor said.
Poulter currently stars in Ari Aster's "Midsommar", the director's follow-up film to his 2018 blockbuster "Hereditary".
Also starring Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor, the film released in the US on July 3.
