Jared Padalecki
Now that we're a couple episodes into this season of Supernatural, I can see why you guys were so excited at Comic Con. Do you feel like you're running around an amusement park everyday since there's so much cool stuff going on?
For sure, for sure. We actually did something really cool two nights ago. [Jensen Ackles] and I did the biggest stunt we've ever done - they built on [a soundstage] a two-story church and we were shooting this scene on the second floor and there were these big bay windows [filled with] candy glass. Jensen and I actually ran and jumped through the windows and smashed them and landed on a pad and it was like a twelve-foot drop. So before [it's] like your heart's beating and you're going, "I'm cool...no, no, no, I'm not scared. Whatever." And then it's time to do it. [Right] before, Jensen and I just looked at each other and we were like, [motions bumping fists] "Kick ass" and we went.
The Fist Bump of Empowerment?
Yeah, exactly. I don't think if Jensen wasn't there I'd have been as brave, but since he was there I was like, "Naw, I ain't scared, I ain't scared. Are you scared, Jensen? I'm not."
... [edit for length] [fannishliss butts in: IS THAT THE COOLEST THING EVER?!? THEY TOTALLY DID THAT STUNT. SACAGAWEA! And Jared was all brave because Jensen was there!! CUTEST THING EVER!! Also, actor culture: my husband is a stage actor and he always wants us to tell him "kick ass" and so now we tell that to our 8 year old when he goes out for his dance or piano recital!! even without the 12 foot drop...]
You and Jensen are really close so is it that much harder to do those scenes where basically you have to watch Dean get torn apart and whatnot?
Yeah, we did that yesterday. He sort of talks about his time in Hell and he knocked it out of the park. He did an amazing job, he's a fantastic actor and always impresses me. Just watching him do it - it was his coverage I didn't even have a camera on me - I was just watching him and I started to like, tears were rolling down my cheek and I was going, "[fake sniffles and eye wiping] Uh...it's dusty...something flew in my eye."
"There are onions behind me."
"Yeah, I had onions for lunch." [fake sniffles]
[so awesome! Acting is all about give and take -- and the connection these two have is UNREAL. They are just completely open and vulnerable to each other in their work.... and we get to reap the benefits!]
I think for the Jared Appreciation Card Drive http://community.livejournal.com/samgotmail/ that I'm going to make some sort of shattered stain glass window in honor of his epic feat!
YAY JARED! ALSO YAY JENSEN! I LOVE THE BOYS AND SHOW!
