Jennifer Aniston has congratulated Paul Rudd on being named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.

The 52-year-old actor was awarded the coveted crown earlier this week and Jennifer has now taken to social media to congratulate the Hollywood star.

Jennifer, 52, posted the caption alongside an image of Paul’s People photoshoot on her Stories and subsequently posted another image featuring the two of them together in a movie still.

Jennifer and Paul previously starred together in the 1998 rom-com ‘The Object of My Affection’, in which the actress played a social worker who falls in love with her gay friend – played by Paul.

The actor explained that his daughter’s passion for the show has also triggered his own memories.

He said: “I hadn’t really revisited many of those episodes. But now that she’s watching it, it’s like, ‘Oh, I remember this,’ and I tell her some story about it.
