Jennifer Aniston recently gave a surprise moment to her fans in HBO’s hit series The Last of Us, and they loved it. A 2003 issue of People Magazine with Aniston was seen in the first episode of season 2, which caught viewers’ attention – and Aniston herself.
The Friends actress posted the scene on her Instagram Stories, joking, “Of all the things to survive the apocalypse,” with a laughing emoji; she also tagged the show’s official Instagram account.
The magazine cover showing up in the scene was not just a coincidence. The story of the show takes place in the year 2003 when a deadly fungus outbreak started —the same year that the People magazine issue came out. This made the cover a smart and fun detail that connects the story to a real-life event, giving fans a fun little detail to spot.
Although Aniston herself didn’t appear in the series but this moment gave fans a pop culture moment for fans to enjoy.
The Last of Us series is based on a popular video game and is now streaming its second season. The series stars Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Gabriel Luna, and Catherine O’Hara. It airs on HBO every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET and is also available to stream on Max.
