CBS ‘The Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) Spoilers tease that star Tyler Johnson is opening up as to why he does not use social media. The actor, who is best known for his role as Theo Vanderway on the hit CBS soap, says that while a lot of soap actors love to utilize Instagram and Twitter to reach out to his fans, he’s just not that into it. Or at least, not into it yet. Here’s what he has to say.
“It’s kind of a stretch for me to play, because I’m sort of social media averse,” the hunk admitted to Soaps In Depth. “It’s not that I don’t like the landscape — I enjoy engaging with it, but as an artist, I’m sensitive. You see all the good things that come across, but then what’s the one thing that you focus on? The negative!”

Tyler certainly has a good point. But with that said, Tyler admits that he is looking at things from the outside in, seeing both the positives and negatives of being active and inactive on social media. “I understand the power of social media, and I understand the power of these platforms and those who can utilize them in a really big way,” he admitted with a smile. “I have a lot of respect for that. And with this role, I get to understand that culture without actually being part of that culture!”
