Jennifer Aniston has just joined social media and looks like she’s already got how it works.
The Friends star followed the “Instagram vs. Reality” trend and shared an epic photo on Monday, revealing two behind-the-scene shots from her recent cover shoot for Variety Power of Women.
The photos revealed how much it takes to make Jennifer look like she just ‘woke up like this.’
“I’m just a girl….standing with hair and makeup,” the 50-year-old actress wrote in the caption, pointing out to Julia Roberts’ dialogue from the 1997 hit Notting Hill, in which she said: “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”
Entertainment Tonight host Lauren Zima commented on Jennifer’s post, saying: “I have never seen someone enter Instagram more fully prepared. It’s a glorious master class.
“What an entrance, and then a #tbt, now an insta vs reality with a movie reference caption…wow. Art.”
Another fan added that they’re “living for her posts already.”
After joining Instagram, Jennifer’s first post was a selfie of the entire cast of Friends, and the picture didn’t take any time to rack up tens of millions of likes.
Jennifer’s career skyrocketed when she played Rachel on the iconic comedy show Friends. She says she started seeing herself in a different way and found her voice after starring in the series.
“I started meeting all of these people who expressed to me how much the show meant to them — how it lifted their spirits during a bad breakup or got them through an illness,” the actress told Variety.
“I was just so incredibly moved by that. And I began to change the way I thought about my own voice, and what it meant to have a platform to use it.”
Jennifer added that “true power” comes when once can use their voice “to hold people up and bring people together.”
She said: “It’s funny, I’ve never actually thought of myself as ‘powerful.’ Strong, yes. But powerful, not [really].
It’s a distinction I’ve actually been thinking about a lot lately because that word — ‘power’ and its counterpart, ‘abuse of power’ — keeps coming up in light of what is happening in our country and in our industry, a re-balancing of the scales, I guess you could say.
