He also marked his birthday with a separate post, wearing a moustache while posing on a bed and next to cars.

He said: “As a kid I couldn’t begin to imagine what 50 looks like ... and yet of course it looks like this. Both dumb and hilarious at the same time.“Thank you life. Subverting my expectations for 5 decades. Always funny, always profound ... You win again.”

Announcing their split in 2018, Aniston and Theroux said in a joint statement: “In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation.

“This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.”

It comes as rumours swirl of a closer relationship between Aniston and Friends co-star David Schwimmer.

The pair have reportedly been spending time together since the Friend’s reunion special, on May 27, after confessing at the time they both had feelings for each other during the filming of the sitcom.

“We were both crushing hard on each other,” Schwimmer said, “but it was like two ships passing. One of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary.”

Aniston added: “I remember saying one time to David, ‘It’s going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is on national television.’ And sure enough, it was.

”We just channelled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.”
