Ackles and Padalecki as The Next Pitt and Clooney - A Chat with J2
You guys, I don't even know what to do with that. You know how I feel about Pitt and Clooney! ♥ (And before anyone decides to come over all, "Pitt and Clooney are way better actors" in the comments, well, maybe, but also, remember Clooney was in Facts of Life, Roseanne, and even after he broke big on ER, he was in a bunch of fair-to-middling movies [which isn't to say I didn't enjoy some of those movies, but let's face it - it took a long time for George Clooney to become George Clooney, and for a long time in movies he was a glib good-looking head-bobber]. The comment was about actors who have good chemistry working together on different projects, not a comparison of talent).
Anyway, the interview is pretty good, too. *g*
