The fastest-growing Instagram account ever, according to Instagram? David Beckham's. The former soccer player shared his first 'gram on May 2 and has since gained more than 5.5 million followers. Most of his photos so far have captured his 40th birthday celebrations and have each received hundreds of thousands of "likes."

Instagram explained the record-breaking stats in an email: "He reached one million in one day, faster than anyone else (Emma Watson was the previous fastest, reaching two million in just two days) and was the fastest account to reach five million followers, which he reached in around three days."

Ahead, check out some of these oh-so-popular snaps.

"Good morning and hello! It’s great to finally be on Instagram, been a long time coming but I can’t wait to start sharing all my special moments with you. Thank you for all your birthday messages so far. Looking forward to a great day with friends and family x"
