Jennifer Aniston has proved that she is a force to reckon with. When the "Friends" alum set up her Instagram account on Tuesday, she broke the internet by accumulating a million followers in a matter of five hours and 16 minutes.

Aniston set a Guinness world record for the highest number of followers accumulated in the shortest time, a record previously held by the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex's official Instagram page.

The actor added that her fans are going to learn how hilarious she is in real life as well if they don't already know. He was one of the many celebrities who commented on Aniston's first Instagram post.

"Woot woot," Theroux wrote in the comments to the post featuring Aniston and her famous co-stars from "Friends" including Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer.

After two years of marital bliss, Aniston and Theroux parted ways in late 2017. Back then, the duo said that they were determined to maintain the love and respect they have for each other in wake of their separation.
