'13 Reasons Why' Star Katherine Langford Only Joined Instagram Because of Selena Gomez

You won’t find Katherine Langford on Twitter, but you will find her on Instagram — and that’s all in thanks to Selena Gomez.

The 13 Reasons Why star opened up about hopping on the social media train with The Last Magazine, and credits producer Selena for the push to do so.

“It was a bit of a big decision for me actually, because I wanted to be an actor purely for the acting work,” she shared. “I have never been attracted to increasing my popularity or hireability by being on Instagram.”

However, Selena convinced her otherwise, pointing out that fans will connect with her character, Hannah Baker.

“Selena pointed out that the show is targeting young adults like me and that [social media] is a good medium to talk directly with those who relate to my character, Hannah,” Katherine says.

And she was right.

Katherine currently has 1.6 million followers on Instagram. Go follow her!
