Your support makes all the difference.Jennifer Aniston has shared her first throwback post on Instagram, comparing a black-and-white photo of herself as a child to one of her as an adult.
The Murder Mystery star has taken the internet by storm ever since joining Instagram earlier this week, even causing it to temporarily crash as millions rushed to follow her.
The actor’s first post, a grainy selfie featuring the Friends cast, included the caption: “And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM.”
For her latest post, Aniston participated in “Throwback Thursday”, when Instagram users share nostalgic pictures alongside the hashtag “#TBT”.
She posted two photos of herself, the first of her as a child wearing a bucket hat and the second of her as an adult donning similar headwear.
“#TBT In style, then and now...” reads the caption.
Several of the actor’s celebrity friends commented underneath the sweet throwback post.
“Cutie pie,” wrote her The Morning Show co-star Reese Witherspoon.
“How do you look gorgeous in a floppy denim hat? Makes no sense,” commented stand-up comedian and actor Whitney Cummings.
In less than a day, Aniston’s throwback post has garnered more than four and a half million likes on Instagram.
After the Friends star joined the social media platform, it was revealed she broke a Guinness World Record previously held by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The 50-year-old’s Instagram account accumulated one million followers in just five hours and 16 minutes, beating the previous record held by the royal couple.
In April, Prince Harry and Meghan got a million followers in five hours and 45 minutes when they launched their Instagram account.
After joining Instagram, Aniston insisted she “didn’t mean to break” the social media platform.
In her second post, which featured a short video clip promoting her upcoming Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, the actor wrote the caption: “I swear I didn’t mean to break it... Thank you guys for the kind, glitchy welcome.”
