Julia Stiles: Twitter is gross

Actress Julia Stiles said Twitter is gross because people like US President Donald Trump are active on the micro-blogging site.


The 36-year-old actress said while she once thought the social media platform had a positive side by making people condense their thoughts, she now has an aversion to using the site.

"I've had an aversion to Twitter because of Donald Trump, I've found it so gross because of him. I once thought there was a positive side to having people be succinct, and reduce what they wanted to say to 140 characters, but now it feels like it's shrivelling ideas,"

Stiles

said.

Instead of using her phone to keep up to date on Twitter, the 'Riviera' star said she instead uses language learning app.
"I use a car-share one and

Duolingo

for language learning. We filmed 'Riviera' in France for seven months, so I'm trying to keep up my French now I'm back home. Sometimes I'll listen to a podcast called 'News in Slow French' and try and pretend I can understand it".
