‘Superman & Lois’ star cites ‘mental health’ for exit: ‘It’s been rough’

Jordan Elsass provided more insight into what led to his departure from The CW’s “Superman & Lois” ahead of the third season.

The 20-year-old — who played Jonathan Kent on the network’s show that takes place in the “Arrowverse” — cited struggles with his mental health in a Cameo posted to Twitter.

“It’s been a tough few weeks, as you might imagine, with everything going on with the show,” Elsass said in the video recorded for a fan on Cameo.

“It’s sad; it’s a real shame. I know that I was pumped for Season 3, for sure, but what are you going to do? Anyway, mental health is definitely 100% priority,” he continued.

“There’s no question — it’s pinnacle. It’s got to take precedence. And mine has been … the last couple of years … it’s been rough.”

“I need some time to myself,” he added to his stream of consciousness. “I’m still debating whether I’m even going to act for a while. I may go in a different direction. I know that’s definitely going to be disappointing to some people.

“Not even just like fans, but people in my close circle,” Elsass admitted. “I think that could be disappointing to some people.”

He also revealed he is undecided about whether to return to acting in the future or to “start over and try something new.”

The Post has contacted representatives for Elsass and The CW for comment about the new video.

Warner Bros. TV announced in a statement on Aug. 17 that Elsass would not be returning to the series due to “personal reasons.”

The company said his role will be recast.

Elsass reportedly didn’t show up for work in Vancouver where the cast shoots because he was allegedly suffering issues possibly related to mental health, sources recently told Deadline.

Producers were aware of his concerns, the report said, but it’s unclear whether Elsass quit or was fired.

Other shows part of the network’s superhero world include “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl” and “Legends of Tomorrow.”
