The Golden Globe winner congratulated her longtime friend via Instagram Story and explained that she’s “always known” her “Friends” co-star was a catch.

"This makes me so happy. We've ALWAYS known this, but Paul Rudd is officially @people's Sexiest Man Alive!" Aniston wrote alongside a video from Rudd’s shoot.

The 52-year-old also shared a photo of them cuddling on the set of their romantic comedy “The Object of My Affection” and said what we’ve all been thinking: "You don't age, which is weird.”

“But we still love you,” she concluded.

Rudd starred alongside Aniston on the final two seasons of “Friends” as Phoebe’s (played by Lisa Kudrow) husband Mike Hannigan.

Aniston and Rudd also shared the screen together in 2012 for the comedy “Wanderlust.”

The “Clueless” alum was informed of his sexy status on an episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”

“I’m the sexiest man alive?!” he exclaimed as he covered his mouth before being handed flowers, being crowned, and holding up a banner that read, “SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.”

Rudd’s ageless look became the talk of the internet earlier this year after the London chef Asma Khan posted a photo of the actor having dinner at her restaurant with “Schitt’s Creek” actor Dan Levy.

As Rudd takes on the responsibility of being the best looking man on the planet, many fans may be wondering what the secret behind his seemingly “eternal” youth is.

Khan noted that it was “kindness.”

She revealed that Rudd was “very gracious” with the staff as he took pictures and even Facetimed “one member of staff who'd returned to India to look after her father, who had COVID-19.”

"I thought that was just the most beautiful thing he did. He talked to her in an unhurried way," Khan explained.

Khan believes his kindness and positive outlook on life contributes to his youthful glow.

"He just looks so happy,” she said.

Rudd is set to appear in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” which hits theaters later this month.
