Since then, awareness has spread further and Aniston has amassed over 7 million followers.
Aniston is no stranger to record-breaking feats – she shares the record title of highest paid TV actress per episode with fellow Friends cast members Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox Arquette, featuring in Guinness World Records 2016, as well as previous editions. In 2008, she was joint record holder of the most powerful actress record, a title she shared with Angelina Jolie after the pair featured in the Forbes 100 Celebrity List.
This is the third time the record has been broken in 2019.
Previously it was held by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who launched @sussexroyal in April this year and reached one million followers in five hours and 45 minutes. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex use their social media fame to engage fans with news of their charity work and public engagements. Prior to this, the record was held by K-Pop star Kang Daniel who achieved 1 million followers in 11 hours 36 minutes.
Before Kang Daniel, the record was claimed by Argentina’s Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio whose account reached 1 million in 12 hours after debuting the verified Vatican Media channel ‘franciscus’ back in 2016.
