Current actor and former model Hannah Simone dug out old pictures of herself with ‘New Girl‘ co-star Jake Johnson in honor of his birthday.
On May 28, Jake Johnson, best known for his role as ‘Nick Miller‘ in the fan-favorite sitcom ‘New Girl,’ turned 43. In order to mark the day, his industry friends jumped into social media accounts. As one of them, Simone, who portrayed ‘Cece‘ in the same series, released a TBT photo from the first season.
Alongside the photo, in which the two are seen standing side by side, Simone wrote the following message as a caption, by changing his age a little bit:
“Season one of New Girl I was a day late on wishing my dearest friend @mrjakejohnson a happy birthday and we both said uh who cares and made a pact to not do the “birthday thing” and I have honored… Until today when I have decided to break it because turning 50 is no small feat. Happy Birthday, young buck.”
The British-Canadian actor, who also previously appeared in ‘The Greatest American Hero‘ continued her Instagram tribute as follows:
“I felt like this photo sums up our relationship perfectly. I’m bored and he is protecting his assets.”
Apart from Simone, another ‘New Girl’ co-star Max Greenfield took to his verified Instagram account in order to celebrate the “50th” birthday of the actor. In return, Johnson took to the comments section and slammed his old friend as follows:
“You’re a super weird guy. And you kind of scare me. We haven’t talked or texted in awhile. Then this? You’re like weird weird. All the best to you and your family. I’m 43 man. You’re scary.”
