“It’s not like an active, working phone,” he explained on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast in June. “I had the same number from age 15. I got famous and I had 10,000 contacts in my phone and people would just text me the whole time.”
“I feel like, with phone, everyone expects you to reply and if you don’t reply, it’s rude,” he continued. “Sometimes you’re just not in a headspace to reply or you’re busy.”
Now, the 34-year-old—who shares daughters Lyra, 5, and Jupiter, 2, with wife Cherry Seaborn—keeps a very structured schedule around screentime.
“I got an iPad, and I moved everything onto email, which I reply to once a week,” he added. “I have an hour of my time on Thursday or Friday. I sit down, usually in the car, I blast all the emails, catch up, do all the talking to whoever and then that’s it.”
