Stars Fastest reading and most selfies: stars in the Guinness Book of Records

On his first visit to China for the premiere of Iron Man 3, Robert Downey Jr. managed to create a new record. The actor received a postcard signed by 5339 fans, which allowed him to get into the Guinness Book of Records.

Robert was touched by this sign of attention and after receiving the official certificate said that he would add the postcard to his collection of contemporary art.

At the world premiere of San Andreas in London, the actor managed to take 105 selfies with his fans in just 3 minutes. The record attempt was watched by a specialist. Although blurred and incomplete images were disqualified, the 105 selected images were enough to win the title.

The actor often posts pictures of his sports activities on Instagram (the social network is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) and believes that selfies are a great exercise for muscles.

Jennifer Aniston made the list quite recently and quite unexpectedly. After registering on the well-known social network in just 5 hours and 16 minutes, she managed to get a million subscribers. Due to the huge number of people who wanted to visit the actress’ page, the social network encountered technical problems and for some time even the star friends of the actress could not log into the account.

Just like that, they managed to break the record of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who collected their first million in 5 hours and 45 minutes.

In 2017, the American singer Beyoncé announced on Instagram (a social network recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) that she was pregnant with twins and posted a photo with a rounded belly, which received 6,954,225 likes and more than 350,000 comments in 10 hours. The good news immediately flooded the Internet, and Beyoncé broke the record for the most likes on Instagram (the social network was recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

The Latin American singer Shakira has entered the Guinness Book of Records several times, and not only for her musical merits.

She set the first record in 2005. Just one week after its release, Shakira’s album became the best-selling album in the US (157,000 copies). In the same year, the song La Tortura was recognized as the best-selling Spanish single. And in 2017, Shakira became the first person in the world to get 100 million likes on Facebook (the social network is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

Justin Bieber consistently manages to achieve high results. In 2017 alone, he broke 8 records related to the success of the album Purpose.

Unfortunately, not every title he received can be called a success. The music video for the song Baby on YouTube broke the record for the most dislikes in the world (9.9 million), and just a few years later Justin finally lost this title.

The popular American rapper Eminem has many records to his credit, but the most important of them requires talent and the improvement of special skills.

In 2013, he set a record for the fastest recitation of one of his songs. In Rap God, he reads 1560 words in 6 minutes 4 seconds, which is an average of 4.28 words per second. He then managed to break his own record twice. At the beginning of this year, the rapper released a long-awaited album and managed to surprise fans with a new result, in the track Godzilla he speaks 7.23 words per second.

Billy Eilish is only 18 years old and has managed to reach incredible heights in her short career. In 2020, the singer became the only woman and the youngest artist to receive four major Grammy nominations (Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year). She also became the youngest musician to score a soundtrack for a James Bond film.
