Julia Roberts has only been an Instagram user for seven months but she already has a list of favourite celebrity accounts she likes to follow.

The 51-year-old Oscar-winner joined the photo-sharing app in June 2018 and has revealed while she enjoys it, she’s “not addicted” like others might be.

Speaking to People, the Instagram novice added that she likes the idea of taking on a social media presence at her own pace.

“I do enjoy it. But the nice thing is, you know, I was actually just talking to a girlfriend today and saying it’s nice that I don’t feel pressure or responsibility,” she revealed while at the WSJ. Magazine Talents and Legends Dinner.

“I do what I can when I can and it’s just so, in that way, it’s fun. It doesn’t feel like work.”

Roberts, who already has 4.7m followers, also revealed the fellow-celebrity accounts she loves to follow.

“There are a few,” she said.

Molly Yeh is a chef who I really enjoy and I follow her and I love Josh Brolin. I think [he] is a brilliant Instagrammer. Great Instagrammer.”

She continued by adding one more celebrity she always looks out for when scrolling through her feed.

Sarah Jessica Parker is really good,” Roberts shared. “

So yeah, there’s some fun things, for sure.”

The actor joined Instagram in June sharing a photo of her sitting on some grass underneath a tree, wearing a black jumper emblazoned with the word “love”.

She captioned the post with a simple “Hello” alongside a sun emoji.

Last year saw a number of A-listers join Instagram for the first time including Jake Gyllenhaal, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise and Natalie Portman.
