Sir David Attenborough, 94, Becomes Fastest Person To Reach 1 Million Instagram Followers

When it comes to Instagram fame, there is no denying the influencers have that on LOCK. Is that slightly soul crushing? Perhaps! Does it make me want to buy hair growth gummies? Perhaps! But it is the truth, #sorrynotsorry.

However, sometimes life surprises you when someone who is super amazing, educated and noteworthy makes Instagram waves and it is refreshing, to say the least!

Sir David Attenborough has recently joined Instagram and all I can ask is, will *he* soon start selling his followers flat tummy tea?!

I AM JOKING!!! OBVIOUSLY NATURAL HISTORIAN SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH WILL NOT BE SELLING HIS FOLLOWERS THAT SCAM TUMMY TEA!!!!!!!

He *will* be using his platform to bring his research and activism to a larger, and for the most part younger, audience.

There is no denying Instagram is going to make him way more accessible to so many!

Posting his first video, Sir. Attenborough greeted his followers: "I am making this move and exploring this new way of communication – to me – because, as we all know, the world is in trouble."

He continued: "Continents are on fire. Glaciers are melting. Coral reefs are dying, fish are disappearing from our oceans…The list goes on and on."

"But we know what to do about it, and that’s why I’m tackling this new way — for me — of communication."

"Over the next few weeks, I’ll be recording messages to explain what the problems are, and how we can deal with them."

The 94-year-old concluded his message by encouraging viewers to "join me - or as we used to say in those early days of radio, stay tuned."

Not only did Sir David Attenborough's Instagram account bring a lot of hope, it broke some records too!

In fact, he became the fastest person to reach 1 million Instagram followers!

I can't wait to see what awesome and insightful things he shares on his account!
