Jennifer Connelly, 51, finally joins Instagram and posts first snaps of her cat and her husband Paul Bettany: ‘I’m told this is a photo dump’

Jennifer Connelly finally joined Instagram, and it seems she already has the lingo down. 

The actress, 51, posted several photos to the popular social media site on Saturday via the account name @jennifer.connelly. 

The A Beautiful Mind actress posted four mostly unrelated photos to the account on her first go-around. 

Big first post: Jennifer Connelly finally joined Instagram, and it seems she already has the lingo down

The first showed the Requiem for a Dream star lounging on the couch alongside a cute feline friend with a vibrant pink tongue. 

The next showed a gorgeous outdoor patio bathed in golden sunlight while the New York City skyline towered far off in the distance. 

Another photo showed the star standing with her back to the camera while taking a break from bike riding, her gaze focused off at that same skyline.

And finally, Connelly posted a photo in which she wrapped her slender arms around her husband Paul Bettany. 

The pair seemed to smirk together in the selfie. 

The Snowpiercer star showed off her command of the Instagram language when she wrote, ‘Making my Instagram debut. I’m told this is a “photo dump.”‘

It took just hours for the superstar to collect more than 80,000 followers though her WandaVision star husband helped the process along by shouting out her account. 

‘Soooooo my Mrs @jennifer.connelly has finally joined Instagram,’ he wrote. ‘Follow her at your peril and believe only half the things she says about me.’

Connelly fired back, ‘But I was about to say something so nice about you.’ 

While her first post was just for fun, Connelly used her Instagram bio to promote her upcoming work. 

She wrote, ‘@topgunmovie, in theatres May 27,’ followed by a link to the film’s trailer. 

Top Gun: Maverick is a sequel to the hit 1986 film Top Gun. The sequel follows Tom Cruise’s Maverick as he trains a new batch of Air Force recruits for a special assignment while simultaneously dealing with his own demons. 

Connelly, Cruise, Val Kilmer, Miles Teller, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris and many more stars will appear in the film.
