After the comment worried the Star Wars actor’s 661.9K followers, his children Annabelle and Harrison assured them he meant he was taking time away from social media.

‘Thank you everyone for looking out for our Dad, he is taking some time away from social media,’ they wrote on their father’s official account.

‘He apologises if his last message caused anyone concern. We appreciate all of your love and support, Annabelle and Harrison x.’
