Peer Pressure is no respecter of persons or age. It does not matter how old or how famous one gets; the grips of peer pressure can have one succumbing to quite a lot of things.

In this era where everyone is on the social media train, some people still hold out and prefer to keep details of their lives offline. One of such persons is the Hollywood delectable actress, Jennifer Aniston.

However, in October 2019, things took a different turn, and Jennifer broke Instagram when she joined for the first time. It was not surprising that within minutes that she joined, she had over 116,000 followers, causing the app to break down.

Recently, during the just-concluded SAG awards, the "Friends" alum explained that her joining the popular social media platform was not solely of her own doing, she cracked and joined due to peer pressure. She said:

"I'm not going to say it was peer pressure, but it was peer pressure if you can't beat them, join them, right?"
