Jennifer Aniston talks about joining Instagram
Aniston broke the Guinness World Records title for the fastest time to reach 1 million followers, in 5 hours and 16 minutes.
Jennifer Aniston who always shied away from social media, finally decided to surprise her fans when she joined Instagram on October, 15th.
The 'Friends' star broke off the internet when she posted a selfie with her former co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer.
On 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', the beautiful actress opened up about her anxieties and queries leading up to her staying away from the limelight of social media, according to reports by The Hollywood Reporter.
Ellen revealed to Aniston that she broke the Guinness World Records title for the fastest time to reach 1 million followers, in 5 hours and 16 minutes.
When asked why she finally decided to join the social media platform after years of holding out, Aniston told DeGeneres: "It was just one of those things. Eventually, it's not going anywhere, right? So why not join the party? And it's not that scary. [You can] share information, connect with your fans, right wrongs that are said about you, have fun, make fun of yourself, make fun of people. Help animals get rescued,"
Aniston has long been one of the last remaining holdouts of her A-list peers to have avoided social media. Last month, the Morning Show actress told InStyle that she "worries about the damaging effects of social media on young people figuring out their identity."
As of Sunday night, Aniston has 17.1 million followers.
