#SPNNJ 2024 Gold Panel | Classic J2 [video]
J2 VegasCon 2019 Main Panel
*Reminder: Full answers/more context in vids and gifs <3
- J2 jump onstage as fans wave pink hearts from the crowd <3
- Jensen: Whenever we come out and do one of those jumps, I always wonder if today’s the day one of us blows a hip.
- Jensen’s microphone keeps making a high pitched sound lol.
- They ask how many first-timers are there. Jensen: Okay, well, I’d like to remind you we’ve been on this show for fourteen years, doing these for thirteen and a half. Where were you???
- Jared: We are five days into our final hiatus. Jensen: Five days into our hiatus beard!
- Jensen won’t shave for a few months.
- J2 whispering and Jensen cracking up :P
- Jensen reveals that Jared is wearing a party patch (they help with hangovers). Jared puts his leg on Jensen’s lap and rolls up his pant leg to show the patch lol.
- J2 gave the crew party patches at the s14 wrap party.
- Fan asks if they believe in the supernatural in real-life. Jensen doesn’t not believe in ghosts. First to think there’s a logical explanation. But he’s certainly open to the availability that that 1% could be supernatural. Even though he’s never experienced it in real life.
- Jensen explains the difference between unnatural and supernatural. Unnatural = Jared. Supernatural = us
- Norton fixes Jared’s rolled up pants which turns a little dirty, naturally :P
- Fan: Which supporting actors have gone on that have had great careers that you’re still close with? The guest star Jared connects with the most is the girl who played Ruby in season 4 ;) Jensen says they knew Sterling K. Brown was a star when he was on spn, that the Force was strong with him. It’s no surprise he’s had the success that he’s had. Also: Well we’re close to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, even though he hasn’t really done much since spn. He’s still cool.
- J2 ran into Felicia Day yesterday and talked about her daughter aww
- Jared watched “Wendigo” recently, named a couple of guest stars (assuming Alden Ehrenreich was one of them ;))
- A fan apparently rushed the stage, emotional/screaming and upset about wanting an autograph. Some fans tweeted that she has autism. Fans tweeted that J2, Clif, and Creation handled the situation well. At one point J2 left the stage to help defuse the situation. When they came back out after Jared shouted out: “Our member of the family is having a hard time. We all have had hard times.” He wants us all to be kind. The boys are completely fine. (Some details)
- Fan: So after the show, will you continue to shave? Boys: Up here not down there… lol
- Jensen: We were talking about Jared’s Viking braids.
- Jensen teased about Jared shaving his head like Borja did yesterday for charity. They said they’d have Misha do it lol.
- Answering sincerely, they acknowledge their look will change a bit, to have their own identities. Jensen: “Dean is the best imaginary friend I’ve ever had in my life. He’ll be a part of me for the rest of my life. But I don’t have to look like him for the rest of my life.”
- Also: “It all depends on what our wives want us to look like.” lol
- Jared wants to go bowlegged. Asks Jensen how it is, to which he replies “airy.”
- Jensen hopes their relationships with cast and crew will last a lifetime and that is what, quote, “fuels us up.”
- J2 are signed to do cons past s15 and won’t end for a while :)
- What is Jared most looking forward to after the show? Getting to know our kids, our wives, and ourselves. Also not shaving!
- Jared: I’m excited to be a dad. Spend more time with the kiddos. Is also excited for the boring.
- Jensen’s never known his wife and kids without the show. It’s been a constant. It’s going to be interesting to see where life goes. He’s excited for the opportunity to spend more time with his kids, wife, and friends. To not get on an airplane.
- Jensen: I’m looking forward to but have been happy to have professional opportunities go by these past 14 years in order to tell this story.
- Has anything impacted you (professionally) like SPN has impacted us? Jared says he isn’t sure. Even when “off” we can’t remove our “wigs” like Borja (lol) We’re still working! Always!
- Jensen said he and Misha will need vocal therapy after the show to get their voices back to normal. Jensen: I tried to emulate JDM as Dean’s father by speaking with this gravelly voice. I didn’t know I’d been doing this for 15 seasons. I’m a lot older than he was when he played my dad. Jared: Yeah, no kidding!!
- Fan: How do demons deposit sulfur? Jensen: *runs around the stage, making farting noises*
- What’s on their bucket lists? And the weirdest thing on there? The fan has an accent that J2 both attempt. Jared says (about the accent): “It’s beautiful and I’m jealous of people who speak better than me, which is everyone.”
- We have learned Jared doesn’t have a bucket list. Then he says he would love to go on a helicopter ride. He’s never done it before and it’s the small things. Jensen is unimpressed.
- Jared: “What I meant to say was…have a…pet…koala…bear…” Jensen: JUST STOP.
- Jensen says, “I want to watch my children grow up.”
- Jared says he can watch his children grow up from the helicopter. Jensen quips, “That’s called helicopter parenting.”
- Jared shakes the fan’s hand and asks where her accent is from, repeating that it’s beautiful. She says, “Yorkshire.” He goes, “no YOU’RE sure.” LOL
- The dad jokes are strong today.
- For the final season, this is the first year J2 have said to the writers and producers that they would like to be part of the creative process in the direction and the story of s15. J2 have been invited to the storyboarding with the creators in LA for the final season and definitely want to give their input. They don’t know if they’ll listen, and J2 are prepared for that, but nobody’s lived with Sam and Dean longer than they have. They would love to give input that the show and characters deserve. <3
- Jensen: “No one knows these characters more than Jared and I.”
- Jared: As a fan of the show, I’d like to offer my input.
- Jensen says they watch the episodes in order to give themselves critical feedback. They don’t read comments on social media re: feedback.
- It’s hard for them to watch themselves as just an audience. Including other TV shows like GOT and This Is Us.
- J2 both loved “Death’s Door” then realized we weren’t in it much. Jensen: Are we weighing it down? Jared: We’re critical of ourselves
- Fan: Jensen, you were amazing last night [at the concert]. Jared: Oh, if you think he was amazing last night… :P
- Fan asks if Jensen really played piano on Dark Angel and any memories from the show? It was a little of both Jensen and a pro (close-ups are not him playing). It was a VERY difficult song to learn how to play, Chopin he thinks. He has to think hard to dig up funny stories.
- When Jessica Alba gets in the boxing ring (with him) she lined up the punch and hit him RIGHT in the nose. (One of the MANY reasons it’s “so jacked up”) He was too young to say “cut! That hurt!” Realizes he doesn’t do that now, either lol.
- Another episode he gets slapped, but the actress wasn’t getting the timing for the fake slap right. She was petite so he assumed it wouldn’t be too bad… But he had a WELT on his face. Whole crew went “oof.”
- “Scoobynatural” question for the final scene, how many takes? A small crowd had gathered outside across the street. They’re 20 yards away and can’t hear the regular dialogue. But Jensen knew they would get that last line, and he was embarrassed to say the line because those people wouldn’t know the context.
- Jared: They’re so old they’re animating themselves to be on camera! lol
- A fan said she lost her favorite beanie in the Bellagio fountain and was asking on recommendations to get a new one.
- Jared gave his beanie to the fan aww. Then Jensen told Jared that he lost his favorite watch, and Jared immediately took off his watch and gave it to Jensen. Jensen cuddles Jared. Jared then tells Jensen he lost his favorite pair of underwear LOL
- Last question: Fan wants to know where Jensen and Jared went during the “French Mistake” episode. Jensen says they were at a con. Jared says VegasCon! Or maybe it was Balthazar. But Jensen prefers to think they just didn’t show up for work because “they’re asshole actors.”
- Hugs, standing ovation for the boys, J2 give each other and the fans some love before taking off :) (photo credit: x)

Enjoy the ride | A Better World [x]
jensenackles: “This past Saturday night, my truly amazing wife, @danneelackles512 , threw me a surprise birthday party that I will never forget. Ever. Endless thanks to all those who participated in helping her and all those who were brave enough to sing “THAT” song on camera for me. I’m still recovering from all the emotion. Unfortunately, some of those images I will never get outta my mind. Ha. To those who couldn’t be there…you were missed. To those of you who were there…thank you for showing me just how special life is. I love you all. #spnfamily” (x)
Bonus: Osric discusses Jensen’s surprise birthday party in his vlog below :)
“Sam, we’re gonna talk about it?” “What?” “You saw that painting!” - SN: 13x09

- If Jared could write a children’s book it would be about love and acceptance for yourself. If would be called WILFJ (What I Learned From Jensen) at Jensen’s prompting.

- Jensen told Jared to pick a question asker. Then picked one for him and Jared went with it. ;P
- The guy who was operating Larry, the mechanical bull in the last ep, was the guy who actually runs it there. Jensen rode that bull in fast motion and is still sore.
- Jared was playing a table game last night and the girlfriend of the dude recognized Jared. Dude: “Do you have to cry?” Jared: “I cry all of the time.” “But you’re a big dude.” *mic drop*
