"It was just one of those things. Eventually - it's not going anywhere, right? So why not join the party? And it's not that scary. [You can] share information, connect with your fans, right wrongs that are said about you, have fun, make fun of yourself, make fun of people," she said.

The actor has been one of the last remaining holdouts of her A-list friends to have avoided social media.

Last month, she told 'InStyle' that she "worries about the damaging effects of social media on young people figuring out their identity."

After they kissed, Aniston noted that DeGeneres has extremely soft lips and the latter complimented her the same stating "so do you."
