Jensen Ackles on Supernatural Season 15, Jared Padalecki and Dean's Impala | The Breakdown

For 15 years, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have battled demons, werewolves, shapeshifters, angels, and a whole slew of other supernatural entities and paranormal creatures as hunters Dean and Sam Winchester on Supernatural.
They’ve saved the world multiple times - despite what God and others have tried. Now, they’re entering the homestretch with the CW series’ final season - which began last week with the “Last Holiday” episode - as the brothers’ prolonged saga finally reaches its conclusion. For our latest episode of The Breakdown, Ackles spoke to us about his audition for the show, how he matured and grew into the character over the years, his favorite moments, and how he’s dealing with the end of this character that has consumed so much of his life.
As he explains, Ackles was originally on another Warner Bros. teen franchise, Smallville on the WB (and Padalecki was on Gilmore Girls), when he got the call for Supernatural. At first, he thought it would be a fun show as they attempted to “shoot a weekly horror movie.” So he put his life in Los Angeles on pause and moved to Vancouver.

So many comments about how beautiful Jensen is. It is true, but his greatest beauty comes from who he is. That comes across in every interview, how considered, thoughtful, kind & extremely talented he is. He makes us care for his characters and for him. I wish all the success in the world for him, cuz he deserves it. Great interview!

How many real lives would be different if Supernatural was never made. Think! How many charities, projects, gish all of it,would never have been. It's really true. You and Jared really did save people!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Jensen meant what he said about a 5 year short series reunion. I don't think any of us are really ready to say goodbye to Sam and Dean!

Jensen is gorgeous, but the most beautiful part of him is his heart.

very true ❣️

I love listen Jensen talk, his voice is mesmerizing , and he is so well spoken and concise.

[@racheldenny2612]

I like watching Jenson think back and relive moments. Being able to remember calling Jared to tell him [I think people are watching the show. ]

[@red76Dragon]

Amazing interview thank you! Love to hear Jensen speak about his character and the show. He's always going into detail, talking about the process and what goes into making the show. Can't wait to see him in The Boys next year, maybe you'll interview him again then?

[@erigg785]

Excited to see what Jensen does next. I look forward to him getting more exposure on larger networks - he deserves more recognition.

[@Island-Girl]

He's going to be on Season 3 of "The Boys," another Eric Kripke creation.

[@erigg785]

@@Island-Girl I know - cannot wait!!! Heard he has also set up a production company and signed a multi year deal with WarnerBros. He is on the move!

[@Ladylike79]

I’m going to miss Dean Winchester so much but I’m so happy that I can still see Jensen on my screen! He’s the one that I was the most interested in regarding future projects .

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

So far, an interview question I have not heard asked of him or Jared is how aware they are of the massive influx to fandom that's happened since lockdowns began.. I think when they can start doing conventions again, they're going to be floored.

[@b.j.peterson7462]

I once thought Alec would be Jensen's signature role. Then along came Dean Winchester, who will always be one of my favs. Now I know Jensen is such an amazing actor that he will continue to create new & intriguing characters & I expect more to join my list of favorites. As of now we are blessed to have Alec, Dean & Priestly who are infinitely rewatchable!

[@saranottingham4819]

Dark Angel was such a great show and Jensen was so good in it. Alec and Max will probably always be one of my favorite duos ever.

[@forcryinoutloud]

You can tell that Jensen was SO ready to be DONE with Supernatural every time he talks about saying goodbye. The show was good for his career, and he made good friends on the show but Jaysus - 15 years on a show that is that genre is WAY too fucking long for actors as young as they are. Without a DOUBT they wanted out SO damn bad. Cannot wait to see what his next projects will be - hopefully NOT in the supernatural genre. Would love to actually see him do something in a drama, letting his acting chops (which are so damn good) SHINE.

[@SimbiAni]

You must be seeing smth else, because across quite a few interviews he's only expressed ~not wanting it to end, & has explained elsewhere he's also not a fan of goodbyes in general. Instead he's repeatedly mentioned wanting to do smth with the story again in the future, either a limited season, or a spin-off & described a role behind the scenes with a story in the SPN-verse as his "dream project". He could easily be saying "finally it's over / never again" (like the Smallville cast often does) but it's obvious his love for the role & everything involved is ~genuine. Also while it may be nice, sure, to eventually see him in big movies (he's expressed interest in comedy more than drama), he alrdy has committed to smth similar to this in its "genreness" yet cranked up to 200- Kripke's Amazon series, so he doesn't appear to be as tired of it as one might think. I've only seen bits & pieces & read of it but that story seems 10x more messier, violent & miserable than SPN & yet Jensen is super hyped about it.. so it's ~doubtful that's smth he's being "forced" to do either. I kno it can be difficult, but sometimes fans just have to accept that our faves don't like the same kind of media (be it music or acting roles) we'd prefer them to do more of. (Seriously, I have a LOT I've felt that way about) So it's just a matter of being happy for them having fun. ♡

I'm glad this awful show is finally cancelled, it went on for one decade too long.
