Jennifer Aniston Guinness World Records: Aniston on red carpet

Unless you live in a media blackout, you’re aware Jennifer Aniston is popular. The actress’s fashion sense, famous friendships with Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow and wildly entertaining Apple TV+ series The Morning Show—it’s all catnip to her fans. However more than a few members of the Jen Army were surprised recently when the she revealed to her co-stars that her fame has even won her an award—a Guinness World Record, no less.

Here's the story: According to Guinness World Records, in October 2019, Aniston joined Instagram and five hours and 16 minutes later, reached one million followers. Reports at the time had Instagram struggling to accommodate the likes and comments on the post; today, she has 44.6 million followers. It makes sense—she’s a good follow, with an enviably chill feed that  peppers in exercise and nutrition messaging with peeks into her personal life—like a stealth silhouette of a new beau earlier this year. And yes, animal lover Aniston’s got great rescue dog content, too.
