All about me

Ten: “Donna, I’ve been a father before. I lost all that a long time ago, along with everything else. [snip] When I look at her (Jenny) now, I can see them. The hole they left, all the pain that filled it. I just don’t know if I can face that every day. [snip] But when they died, that part of me died with them. It’ll never come back. Not now.”

Rob introduces Jensen as the man, the myth, the hero. #SPNDEN (x)

Jensen - “we’re back!” Says he is nervous and it is good to see everyone. “A little rusty,” Jensen said. (x)

Jensen said he thought he would have time to hang and chill after the show but that’s didn’t happen. “So much has happened. We have so much to talk about.” (x)

He thanked people for “dancing with him” changing the schedule  (x)

.@JensenAckles : it was difficult not to slip into Dean voice. I got a few notes from @therealKripke  (x)

“dean is and was a massive part of my life and there’s a lot i identify with, with dean. so it’s probably gonna be difficult to shed dean…. it was difficult not to do the dean voice” #spnden  (x)

JA: “I haven’t mourned Dean being gone, because he’s not. I think he’s going to be around a long long time.”… maybe just take three years off and start all over again.” #spndenver  (x)

Jensen did another Batman movie while in Toronto!!! #spndenver  (x)

.@JensenAckles : I also did another Batman movie while trying to be soldier Boy and not be Dean… #SPNDenver  (x)

Ooooh he’s talking about Rust now and it’s awesome. He’s talking about his character and the backstory there. I can’t wait for this movie #SPNDEN #SpnDenver  (x)

Jensen is talking about Rust - late 1800s full-on western. He plays a U.S. Marshal tasked with tracking down fugitive. And the marshal has a whole back story. He has an odd way of doing things on the job; emotional struggles throughout the movie. #SPNDEN (x)

Jensen also said Soldier Boy was well-explained to him before he showed up. He said hazing on day one - done by producers and writers. “There I was in all my glory day one!” (x)

“Welcome to streamers, where anything goes. And everything.” #SPNDEN (x)

How much did @therealKripke love making that happen on @JensenAckles’ first day on set tho?  (x)

He was quarantined, had 5-10 days off at a time. And missed his kids. For 4 months  (x)

He didn’t see his family for four months. Thank God for Facetime he said. That happened family. “I was watching them change on an ipad. I wasn’t there to hold them.” #SPNDEN (x)

Omg my heart. Zepp is a mommas boy, but when Jensen was gone for 4 months he came home and zepp wouldn’t leave his side. #spndenver  (x)

.@JensenAckles : my two girls are daddy’s girls, they love them some daddy.  Since I’ve come back tho Zepp hasn’t left my side. I buried myself in children for a few days.  #aww #SPNDenver  (x)

Jensen is talking about his kids. His girls are Daddy’s girls and they are all over him and they love him so much. But Zeppelin is a mama’s boy. Only wanted Danneel but when he got home Zeppelin never left his side. Held his hand wanted to play trucks and trains all day #SPNDEN (x)

Jensen says Zeppelin is a momma’s boy. If he falls goes straight to Mom. “I was gone for four months. I came back home and he never left my side.” Sat next to him at dinner, holding his hand, playing trucks. #SPNDEN (x) 

He hunkered down and buried himself in children for five days then had to go back to work for four weeks. #SPNDEN (x)

He is singing the Applebees’s song!!!! (x)  “I just lost all my credibility.” He says they play the song too much - coffee shop and grocery stores. #SPNDEN (x)

(x)

What is he going to be for Halloween and the kids? He doesn’t know. Danneel is working on that. I am whatever I get told to be. He likes to go simple. #SPNDEN  (x)

A question about his brewery from a pregnant woman. He jokes about quarantine babies. Jensen says he hasn’t been back to Austin in a while because of shooting and travel. He knows fall lineup came up. He will be back in a few weeks. #SPNDEN  (x)  Having not tried the new ones he would go with the Stout.(x)

A question about the SPN season finale. OG ending vs. what occurred. Jensen said nothing changed to 90% of the script. Only thing changed was when Dean finds Sam on the bridge that was not in the original script. #SPNDEN  (x)  Instead it was supposed to be a Roadhouse reunion - they have conversation and then Jensen says come on in people want to see you. And anyone they could get to come back up would be in the bar with Kansas playing. #SPNDEN (x)  Jensen says he thinks the bridge scene was beautiful. #SPNDEN But it would have been fun to shoot the other one. (x)

Question - if I plugged an aux cord into your brain what would we hear?  (x)  Jensen makes the static/white noise. #SPNDEN (x)

Jensen said Zepp told him music plays in his head all the time. “Your name is Zeppelin kid.” #SPNDEN  (x) 

Fan says she loved the series finale  - what things did you and Jared add that weren’t in the script? #SPNDEN  (x) He said a lot of it was all there. Says it has been a year. He knows the barn scene - only did it a few times because so emotional. #SPNDEN  (x) Jensen said some crew had to turn around or leave the set. It was hard for them to watch it in person. “We’re doing something right. It’s effective."  (x)

dean was supposed to be laying on the ground during his death scene but jensen wanted him to be on his feet. “if he’s gonna die he’s gonna die standing” :((( #spnden #spndenver  (x)

Jensen fought for Dean to be on his feet at his death. Original script was to be on the ground, cradled by Sam. He got pushback for fighting but won in the end. “Good call.” #spndenver  (x)

Question about pie - fruit pie or meat pie? He says a meat pie is the best of both worlds - you have your meat in a pie. But that’s like a meal. What comes after a meal? Pie. "Set em up!” #SPNDEN (x)

 .@JensenAckles : I just see pie and I smirk, like I know who would like this! Dean singlehandedly changed my relationship with pie! #SPNDenver  (x)

Question on Radio Company and/or covers? Also her husband says his beard is awesome lol. #SPNDEN (x)  Jensen says if ever to record covers trying to do Chris Stapleton is suicide. He is incredible. Would have to be a wildly different version. #SPNDEN (x)  She had asked about Tennessee Whiskey. (x) 

He is talking about on Rust all the actors had to go to a ranch and pick out a horse and see what their riding ability is. (x)  They put Jensen first on Cowboy, then Texas, then Kevin. (x)  Jensen said he saw a gorgeous big black horse - that’s Baby. “Sorry Kevin.”  (x)  “Baby’s coming with me.”  (x)  But he was corrected Bebe - but for this project he is Baby. “Will he respond to Baby? That’s what I’m calling him.” (x)  Jensen is feeling really comfortable on the horse - show up day 1 of principal photography and see Baby being loaded up. He was limping. Had to put him on a different horse. (x)  Then a giant huge quarterhorse comes around the trailer - biggest horse. Spanky is his name! #SPNDEN (x)

Question - how would Dean have reacted if Jack’s character was a girl and not a boy. “The same?” he says. “Do we know what Jack identifies as?"  (x)

Fan has Jensen’s name tattooed on her. If you could have played any other character besides Dean in Supernatural who? Jensen said he has said John in the past. (x)

If he played another character on SPN he would’ve like to play Benny. He like the way Benny’s character taught Dean that there are monsters that aren’t all bad. He liked the shades of grey. That’s why he brought Ty back in Atomic Monsters #SPNDEN (x)

Jensen is asked about playing a superhero. Says favorite part is not the outfit. Says the person who made the suit is lovely and talented - but says they are not built for spending 12 to 14 hours a day in in the heat sweating and doing stunts. #SPNDEN  (x)  Basically a bodysuit then a giant tactical vest and boots and kneepads and armbands. Same boots as Dean’s. (x)  Jensen said had to fly to L.A. six times for fittings for the suit. I hear cheers and think Misha came on stage. (x) 

Jensen said during the fittings he asked about building muscles into the costume. He knows Homelander’s suit is quite built out (x)  Costumer said he had to bring the muscles when he showed up. And that’s when I called my doctor and said "steroids?” He is kidding. #SPNDEN (x)

Jensen said they thought Orlando was going to be the first one (con) back and everyone was messaging back and forth and it was pushed. So this was highly anticipated. #SPNDEN  (x)  Jensen said he was looking forward to the show being done and then really leaning into these cons without 6 a.m. calls on Monday etc. And then covid happened and took it all away from us (x)

Jensen says he is twice vaxxed.  Don’t want production shut down because that would mean a lot of people not getting a paycheck. #SPNDEN  (x)

I’m dead, I’m posting from the grave. Jared Padalecki as Cordell Walker killed me. Holy shit I wasn’t prepared. Fuck he looks so good. 

Either way, here's a laugh I know some of us desperately need.
