I know this has been discussed before, but it’s interesting enough to me to be worth repeating . . .
The recent photos of Jared and Gen posing with others at the stem cell treatment facility as well as the photo of Jared and Gen at the coffee house chatting with the two women, leads me to believe that 1) the Padaleckis are down-to-earth enough that they venture out-and-about into the masses to live their lives; 2) the Padaleckis are famous enough (at least in their hometown of Austin) that they are recognized by people that they don’t know personally; 3) the Padaleckis are welcoming enough in their demeanor that people feel comfortable approaching them; and 4) the Padaleckis are human enough that they will engage with the common folk and pose for photos. This tells me a lot about Jared and Gen and who they are as people.
I have watched SPN and been a non-participating (lurker) part of the fandom for years, including at SPN_Goss and Tumblr, so I have seen a lot. I am not on FB, Instagram or Twitter, and I don’t follow any of the cast. I only see what’s posted on fan sites on Tumblr (some of which are admittedly anti-Jensen), so someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there are often similar sitings and interactions with the Ackles. This leads me to think that 1) the Ackles are not out-and-about as often; 2) the Ackles are not recognizable when/if they are out; 3) the Ackles are not as approachable if they are recognized; and 4) if the Ackles are approachable and engage, they may not consent to a photo or they may ask the person not to post the photo on social media. The only other reason I can come up with is that maybe people just don’t care, but I know that won’t go over well with the AAs.
This is just something that occurs to me every time I see a photo with Jared (and Gen) and a fan out in the wild. I love that he isn’t afraid to engage with people and I love that people always post about how kind and friendly he is. It does make me wonder about the comparisons between the two men though. Perhaps Jensen just isn’t as recognizable and famous as his super-fans think he is and perhaps Jared, with his more mainstream TV and film career, is.
I think there's a lot of truth in your observations. Thanks for sharing! To your question, I do follow some people who post Jensen and Jared fan interactions, and you're right that there are certainly more fan photos with Jared. Jensen content tends to come more from people he's worked with as opposed to fans out on the street.
There are definitely some interesting comparisons into how each couple handles recognition/fan interactions. Of course, I'm not going to say one way is better than the other as every celebrity should be allowed to interact within their comfort level. (And frankly, seeing how obsessed some of Jensen's fans are, I don't blame him for staying under the radar.) I do appreciate Jared and Gen's willingness to interact with fans and I hope someday I can meet them!
"Perhaps Jensen just isn’t as recognizable and famous as his super-fans think he is and perhaps Jared, with his more mainstream TV and film career, is."
It's unsurprising how many comments I saw on photos from Jared's USO tour that mentioned different shows Jared's been on, including Gilmore Girls, SPN, Walker, Friday the 13th and House of Wax. It helps that GG and SPN frequently make the weekly top 20 of streaming shows. Jared is very recognizable despite looking nothing like his teenage self from GG!
(Surprised no one mentioned New York Minute. LOL!)

I'm still trying to grasp the connection between Danneel and Hilarie's book, apart from the fact that Danneel enjoys dressing up as a witch as a hobby.

Dean and Cas should have gotten to poke fun at Sam’s career choice more often. When Cas is annoyed, his response is always ‘ok law boy’ with an eye roll. Anytime Sam utters ‘so get this’, Dean and Cas rush to be the first to object. Dean threatens to sue Sam anytime he interrupts his alone time with Cas. The party city wig was actually one of those white British judge wigs.

So Jensen, instead of filling for divorce and paying alimony you decided it was better to buy a creepy old manor that is too big for your family just to be able to live away from your wife? 😂😂😂 Stop being stingy and do what is healthy for your kids!

I read somewhere that everyone in Austin knows they were faking it, So they moved to CT where they can live separately without anyone notice it.
Ooooo, this is juicy.
That being true... Jesus, why does he still endure that? God. I'm gonna try to find the article/post/thread because I need to see it for myself. If anyone finds it first, would you please share? Merci beaucoup.

Speedy’s Supernatural Watch-through
hey can we all just pretend season 15 doesn’t exist?
I’m on Season 15, Episode 17.
The drop in quality from 14 to 15 is drastic and horrific. Whoever was in charge of the music completely changed the instrumentation of the background music, and instead of classic rock every song used is either like underground indie or country music.
I don’t want to critique the acting because that is unfair, the actors were working with a god awful script, but at times it feels like the actors are genuinely giving up. It gets better later in the season, but Jared in early season 15 is…struggling. Again, mainly the script’s fault.
Also just grave mischaracterizations. Since when does Dean not consider Jack family? They spend most of the last 2 seasons showing Dean getting closer to Jack and seeing him as more than just Lucifer’s son, yet when Jack has to sacrifice himself, suddenly “Jack’s not family.”?
There are things about this season I appreciate, mainly Jensen’s acting choices when interacting with Castiel, as well as…everything Alexander Calavert does cause he’s great.
I’m also deeply upset by the way they treat Dean, especially people outside of TFW interacting with him. Dean is still an attractive guy, Jensen looks incredible now at 46, and he did in 2020 too. And yet whenever Dean’s on a job, people treat him like he’s super freaking old and unattractive. Just feels like a giant fucking insult to one of the most attractive men in hollywood.
All in all, this feels like a grave misrepresentation of a show I’ve adored for months now, and I hope that if they do a season 16, they will fix some of the glaring issues with the plot.

david oakes' takes and anecdotes on juan are always so delicious to read because he talks about him enthusiastically and understands the character so well and he makes sure to try to make people understand what led juan to behave the way he did without diminishing any of his wrongdoings. i can't lie i always giggle every time a borgia fan gets bothered under my gifsets that he isn't the b&w "villain" some of them wished him to be lmao

The problem with the way AA's are dealing with this Amazon news is that they are trying to compare Amazon to the CW. But what they need to be comparing is Amazon to WBD. CMP didn't work for the CW. TW wasn't a CW show. Both were WBD commodities. Now that they were let go from WBD and TW is all but officially DOA they are scrambling to make this move a "step up" to prove they're still "winning"
I'd be shocked if I saw any of them actually express disappointment at CMP moving to Amazon. I think they're blinded by the fact that it's the streaming services that tend to get most of the awards nowadays, which in their minds, means greater opportunities and more clout. What they fail to realize is that streaming services, particularly Amazon, suck at being television studios. Pay is crap, organization is all over the place, shows are canceled after 1 or 2 seasons with no reasons given so there's no job security. At least with the WB, they were with an established studio (100 years strong), with opportunities outside of the volatile streaming arena. Of course, the Ackles also wasted those opportunities, so Amazon it is, but for AAs to think it's better? Not happening.

An excellent article and one particular section jumps out to me. Can we send what he said to other actors? One in particular? (Hint: It's to Jensen Ackles.)
--excerpt--
I first became aware of you, as an actor, with Passions. When you think about the trajectory your career has taken since then, how has it compared to what the goal was or what you might have envisioned it to be? You’ve definitely spent time on a number of memorable TV series and you had that successful run on This Is Us. Was this a goal? Had you always wanted to lead a TV series? What did you envision for yourself?
HARTLEY: I don’t know if I had a particular vision in mind where I manifested something like being the lead of a show, or anything like that. I think I was just enraptured with the art and the craft and the idea that you can go to “work” and make believe, and meet all these really interesting people and artists, and get ideas from them, and just work really hard on making something look effortless. I guess that was the goal. Most of these actors that you watch and admire, when you look at what they’re doing, it looks like they’re not doing much, but it’s so captivating. When you watch Jon Hamm, if you didn’t know any better, the guy is just such a natural. He’s just sitting there staring and listening to this guy, but I can’t stop looking at him because he’s doing a million things all at once and he makes it look effortless. That’s an artist. That is dialed in. When you watch Tom Hanks do a scene, you could watch that guy read a phone book. So, I guess that was the goal. It still is my goal to just be the best I can possibly be, and I haven’t reached it yet. I’m not done learning yet. But I don’t know if I ever had a vision of where I would be at this age. I’m just lucky to be in this business and able to afford a life in this business. I love the process of learning new things and I love the idea that, if I had a chance to redo a scene from two years ago, I bet you I could do it better. If the day comes along where I’m like, “Yeah, I’m getting worse,” then I’ll probably retire.

i swear to god if misha also makes a secret guest appearance in season 5
I know. I think Misha’s supe name should be Astro Glide and he plays Soldier Boys secret Russian lover from back in the day. But I’m just spit balling here.

I'm not up to date about what Jensen is up to these days.
But I saw that he is or was in good old Vancouver. And that he seems to visit old working buddies/friends.
He visited Brad Creasser
Tumblr media
Who was surprised.
Tumblr media
Link
But he also went out with other peeps.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
FYI: On his left (your right) that's Jason Checcini (he was a Stuntman and Stand-In on SPN Set, but also became Buddy with J2).
He uploaded over the years pics with them.
Tumblr media
On the other side is Justin Hartley (former co-actor from Smallville. Justin played Green Arrow).
The woman is Sofia Pernas his wife and also actress.
Jason seems to working on the set of his show "Tracker", because he also is buddy with Justin.
Tumblr media
But I think they also know each other back from Smallville, where he also worked.
Tumblr media
The pics are from Jason's FB Account. I won't share the link because it's on private anyway.
The new pics with Jensen also saw some other old SPN related person.
Who commented on it:
Tumblr media
Of course I was wondering what he is doing up there. Working? Just visiting some people?
But that's not Jensen.....so working...maybe a chameo on Hartleys Show?
Or......contacting old connections for maybe another shot on a SPN Reunion.
And we know Jensen by now, he wants to call the shots....maybe Jared will get "lucky" this time and gets informed 😏
Should anybody know the real reason, feel free to share.
