Fangasm report  J2 breakfast

We found out that both their Impalas were originally blue, which I did not know.   Apparently Kripke was like, paint it black!  

Jensen: Sera was gonna take over and we knew Sera and we all loved her, she did a great job with what she was given. But it was an odd time because Swan Song was effectively supposed to be the end of the show.

Jared: That was Kripke’s ending.

Jensen: Kripke likes five seasons. With The Boys, this is it, Season 5.

Jared: I’ll get back to Swan Song, but we had a 100th episode party and it was like a big deal in linear television. And the then head of the CW, lovely lady… I’ll go with this story. They show like a sizzle reel of what we’ve done and they have this whole venue with open bar and food. She gets up and says it’s an honor to have Supernatural on the CW and you’ve been here before we started – it was very lovely – then she says without further ado, I’d like to welcome the stars of the show… ummm (pulls out notes in her pocket)… Jen…Jen…Jensen Ekkles… and Jared.. Jared… and Jared.

Jensen: So Misha threw it at Jake and it wouldn’t break, so basically he was just chucking an unbreakable bottle at a human body.

Jared: And Jake is like OWWWW.

Jensen: It wouldn’t break. And so Steve Boyum, who’s like this old weathered stuntman turned director, he’s all frustrated and he’s like damn it Misha, throw the bottle harder! And Jake’s like, what? So Steve is like throw it me then, chuck it hard! And Misha throws it and it doesn’t break and Steve’s like OWWW, can I get a breakaway bottle please?

They also talked about how not fun it was to have fake wounds melting onto your face. 

What were some special moments they remember?

Jensen: Jared and I sitting on the roof of the trailer after Swan Song, not knowing if we were coming back.   We climbed up there to watch the sun set, because we didn’t know if we were gonna come back or this was it. So literally we climbed up on the trailer, of course the Teamsters are like get down, oh great, they’re up on the trailer, drinking, this is not gonna be good.

Jared: And Jensen still had his eye patch, so he’s like hey man, I know this might be the last episode, I really have enjoyed our time together (reaches out for Jared but can’t see him lol)

Jared: Filming Baby was like Jensen and I being Sam and Dean.

Jared was talking about wanting to be Jonathan Taylor Thomas (and JTT) but Jensen was like oh my…

Jensen (describing shooting a scene with Jim Beaver and Jared): … so the camera would completely obscure my line of sight to Jared. Which is fine, we’ve had to act with tennis balls before, so … But I’m talking to Jim and I turned to look at Jared and the camera has obscured my view, but there was this little hole between the top of the camera and the body, and I just see Jared go (drops slowly down – which Jared does in complete sync with him). Like so serious, just his eyes and I’m like oh good – I lost it. And then take two, same thing. Take three, same thing. Finally I just got used to it! There were those moments that were constantly occurring while filming. It kept it really fun on set. It kept us all laughing, kept the crew in a good mood. It was a morale boost to constantly mess with each other and have a good time, and it made the long days that much sweeter.

J2 Main panel

Someone asked about real life haunted places they’d like to visit.

Jared: I’d like to go to the Stanley Hotel. I love that kinda thing when real life lore crosses over.

Jared: I had a dream for when Supernatural comes back.

Jared: It’ll be like Jack or Cas is like, we need you to do something. I look to Dean and he’s like, nope, I’m gonna kill every vampire I find.

Jensen: Every clown faced vampire I see!

Jensen: Dean died doing what he loved.  Which is how he always wanted to go out.

Jared: As much as you can be happy after 15 years. I was 22, a little dude who didn’t know what was going on when the show started. I was 38, husband and father of three when the show ended. How can you really end? And I don’t think anyone in here – I certainly don’t like to think of it as an ending – it’s a see ya later, we’re gonna take a break. So yes, I’m happy with the way Supernatural ended – or paused.

Jensen: It took me a while to get there, but ultimately I was happy with how the show came to an end and very very proud of the work that we put into that and very happy and proud of the way it turned out. I am enjoying my current roles that I’m playing quite a bit – Soldier Boy is a lot of fun – and it doesn’t begin and end with the role itself, it’s the totality of the experience you have when you’re on set. So my family up on The Boys, they’re the best, an incredible cast and crew, top to bottom. Obviously it’s an Eric Kripke world so it’s something I’m familiar with. He really knows how to put the right people in the right positions to make wonderful things.

Jared: It is everything about a show, top to bottom. And on The Boys, I love Jensen’s bottom!

Jensen: blushes adorably

What would they be if they weren’t actors?

Jared: I’d like to be a teacher. Or a wildlife photographer.

Jensen: If not this, I’d be a stay at home dad.

Jared: I’d be his neighbor asking him to watch my kids.

What new projects are happening for both of them? 

Jared: I think Ackles has touched on this before. It’s a long runway to take off for one of these projects. You can go – and he and I have both done pilots that didn’t go anywhere or even shows that were several episodes and never made it to the screen – so it takes a long time.   So here’s the serious answer. The way I approach acting or story telling in general is it’s either hell yes or a no. So I either give everything I have to give to it, or the answer is I’ve got 3 kids and a wife and dogs and chickens and goats…

Jensen said he also has something coming up that his production company has sold. (We now know that’s the One Tree Hill reboot that Chaos Machine is producing!)

Jensen said that he had to fight really hard to get the role of Soldier Boy on ‘The Boys’.

Jensen: But for Tracker I just called my buddy to come up and splash the ratings!

Someone asked about their other characters showing up to help the Winchesters, what that would be like. Jared and Jensen had a lot of fun just thinking about Soldier Boy and Cordell Walker trying to help the Winchester brothers out.

They got to do one of their very favorite things – re-enact something funny that happened while they were filming Supernatural.

Jensen (demonstrating on Jared how they were shooting and he could see Jared’s shoulder): His shoulder, right? So he turned around but we still got that little piece of shoulder. So I’m now doing the scene to the back of his stupid head! (They’re both laughing at this point). And this guy, he’s like legitimately trying not to laugh so we can get through the scene.    And now I’m getting this dialogue, it’s really serious, and then I just see this (turns around and lets his shoulders bounce up and down as Jared bends over laughing). And I’m like, his shoulder’s laughing at me!

 Jensen: I think it’s in the blooper reel somewhere.

Jared: We were shooting in downtown Vancouver

Jensen: And I was telling you what we were dealing with.

Jared: Yeah, and so Dean and Sam are talking in an alley, right near the Sutton Place Hotel where we were living at the time. And he’s like (Dean voice) Sammy, I found some skin, I think it’s a shhhshhhter. And Robert Duncan McNeil, who was directing, was like Jensen, slow down a little bit, we’re having trouble making out the word shapeshifter when you say your line. (Jared gets up to demonstrate). So action – Sammy, so I think .. shhshhter. So RDM is like hey great but it’s still difficult to understand what you’re saying. And Jensen’s like okay I got ya. So take 3, we run out – Sammy, I think I know what we’re dealing with, it’s a – giant pause – Shape. Shifter.

The most unusual question was what are their wives’ celebrity crushes, which made them ponder. Jensen finally said Danneel thinks David Spade is adorable.

Jensen: I’m like, what kind of guys are you into??

She apparently still has a mug with his face on it.

Someone asked them about their nicknames for each other.

Jensen: I’ll start with Jared. For me, and that’s J-rod, J-R-O-D. I don’t even know what the origin of that is, it’s just, you know, you come up with different ways to say people’s names, and come up with nicknames. You’re in my phone as J-rod.

Jared: And he’s Jack on my phone. I call him Jack or Shack and J-Ackles

Jensen: My most fondest nickname that he and I have ever gotten is “the boys”. We were always referred to as the boys on set by the entire crew because when we started, we were kinda boys.

Favorite brotherly bonding moment?

Jensen: It was a Very Supernatural Christmas. The scene with the brothers in the motel room at the end where Sam brings Dean a drink, I think it’s eggnog. And it was just a really kinda touching little scene, Bob Singer was directing, he pans out and through the window snow is falling, so it was a really nice moment in the show.

Jensen: And Sam walks over and brings Dean a drink, and we do a little clink – and I take a sip – and it was just straight whisky.

Jared (winking): I don’t know what happened!

Jared: We were putting mattresses against the wall, I think it was Gordon, so he can’t smell me or something. And I’m saying I just want you to be my brother kinda thing. We had already had a million moments in the 30 episodes we’d done together, but that felt like you got your next belt, like in jujitsu, it was like oh, did we just become black belts? (Jensen grins) This is friggen’ cool.

Jared: That sticks out and Sacrifice sticks out when they’re at Death’s door and they edify each other and build each other up, character wise. There are a lot of them, on and off camera.

Jensen: One of these days we’ll go back, relive all those moments, figure it out.
