It appears that the entire planet has a social platform, whether it is Instagram or Twitter. However, there are a number of well-known people who have avoided social media for a long time. While some have said exactly why they have yet to join the bandwagon, it appears that many are now coming around to the idea and making a debut on social media platforms. With both Instagram and Twitter having been there since the mid-2000s, some of Hollywood's A-list have gotten a late start and joined these platforms in 2021. From Angelina Jolie to BTS members and more, keep scrolling to see which celebrities took their time getting on social media.

Angelina Jolie

One of the world's biggest entertainers finally joined Instagram, more than a decade after its inception. The humanitarian, who also defines herself as a "mum and filmmaker" in her description, joined the platform with an urgent message on behalf of Afghan women who are afraid of the Taliban's recent takeover of the country. The post featured a letter that Jolie stated was submitted by a teenage girl from Afghanistan who is terrified of losing her rights to school, work, and independence. Since joining, Jolie's post has mostly been for social causes.

BTS Members

Just hours after BTS members Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, J-Hope, RM, V, and Suga revealed that they will take a short break, they released a significant update that will undoubtedly keep ARMY entertained and connected during holidays. On December 6, each of the seven members of BTS joined the social networking platform Instagram individually. Previously, the BTS boys did not have an Instagram account.

Within a few hours, the followers' counter on each of the members' handles surpassed the seven million mark, with Kim Tae-Hyung in first place
