In a new interview, Jared Padalecki explained exactly what happened between him and Jensen Ackles regarding the Supernatural prequel. The actor shared that things are great, and they patched it up merely hours after the tweet.
Supernatural recently ended, but it’s forever in the hearts of the Supernatural Family, who’s been there for fifteen seasons with the characters.
That’s why it came as a shock when Jared Padalecki revealed he didn’t know about the Supernatural prequel Jensen and his wife, Danneel Ackles, are planning.
Hours after the announcement for the prequel, Jared, who played Sam Winchester on Supernatural, revealed he had no idea of Jensen’s plans and was “gutted” after being left out.
But once he talked it over with Jensen, they cleared everything. And gave an update just hours later, to share that they “are good.”
In a new interview with The New York Times, Jared Padalecki, whose own show, Walker, reached its finale, talked about the situation with the prequel.
Jared explained: “I hadn’t heard of it, and then he and I chatted [the next morning]. He just kind of explained: “Man, it’s not picked up yet. It’s not even written yet.” He knows and I know how much “Supernatural” means to both of us, and it wasn’t a secret he was trying to keep, necessarily. It was just something that he didn’t feel really even existed yet. But he has been like: “Hey, I’ll let you know what’s going on.””
Jared continued, “I love Jensen deeply. He’s my brother — he has been for many years, and he always will be, no matter what. He’s spent more time with me on camera than anybody probably ever will, so he knows my strengths and weaknesses more than I do, and vice versa. I respect his opinion.
He also thinks that the tone of the message was a bit misunderstood. He just wanted people to know he wasn’t a part of it. “It was just one of those things that because it was online, and people were assuming I was part of it, I really wanted to just say: “Hey, I’m not keeping a secret from you guys. I just don’t know about this.” And I should be old enough to know better than to put something out there and expect that people will understand. It’s hard to tweet a specific tone. If you write it online, it’s like, “Oh, he doesn’t know! They’re going to kill each other! The world is ending!” And I’m like, “No, no, no.” I try to avoid social media as much as possible because of that.”
