Christina hendricks age

It took a while to get actor Christina Hendricks on board with social media. But the "Good Girls" star finally decided to take control of how she was being publicly portrayed.

"I got on Instagram. I finally broke down with a little help from my friends," Hendricks said on "Popcorn with Peter Travers." "I'm slowly easing into it. It's fun. I'm enjoying it. But it's work."

Hendricks said being on social media is like "a whole separate job."

"You sort of feel like you want to share yourself and be true to yourself that, you know, your image and personality is so manipulated by interviews and magazines and these kinds of things. So this is your platform to just say, 'This is who I am.' And it's not being manipulated by anyone else. This is just me."

Hendricks told Travers a lot of people assume things about Christina hendricks twitter.
