Actor Quits Social Media Over Everest Photos
25 Feb
Summary
- Basso cited a specific photo of Mount Everest as his reason.
- He felt sharing major life achievements online felt 'insane'.
- The actor recently starred in 'The Night Agent' Season 3.
Gabriel Basso, known for his role in 'The Night Agent,' has recently deleted his Instagram account. The actor, who gained wider recognition with the Netflix series' 2023 debut, made the decision spontaneously while browsing the platform.
Basso explained that his departure from social media was prompted by a photograph of someone reaching the summit of Mount Everest. He articulated that he found the act of sharing such profound personal accomplishments online to be "insane" and "whack," suggesting that significant achievements like conquering Everest should be a private experience.
This revelation comes shortly after the third season of 'The Night Agent' was scheduled for television release in 2026. While many celebrities leave social media due to cyberbullying or feeling overwhelmed, Basso's unique reasoning highlights a personal sentiment about the commodification of major life experiences.
