In 2017, heiress Paris Hilton claimed to be the first person to take a selfie with a throwback photo of her and Britney Spears in 2006.

[Witherspoon] also made the news when she disclosed how frightened she was to be a mother in her early twenties.

While it was later discovered that the first selfie was taken in 1920, Hilton was given the title of first celebrity selfie, but it seems Witherspoon's recent post has dethroned her.

The two-minute clip, which was part of Governor Cuomo's national Mask Up America campaign, showed the 51-year-old actor dressed as a millennial. He wore a yellow hoodie paired with headphones around his neck, a blue face cap, and a skateboard under his arm.

His "Monsters Vs. Aliens" co-star also made the news when she disclosed how frightened she was to be a mother in her early twenties, during an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show."

According to the "Little Fires Everywhere" star, who got pregnant at 22, that point of her life required her to make sacrifices to survive.
