This is Gonna Be Insane!” Reliving Jared and Jensen’s First “Supernatural” Interview (and Predictions of Epic Success!)

Grab your tissues, “Supernatural” fans, because we’re taking a trip down memory lane to a time when Sam and Dean Winchester were just two fresh-faced actors about to embark on a journey that would change their lives (and ours!) forever.

That’s right, we’re revisiting Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles’ very first interview together, back in 2005, when “Supernatural” was just a glimmer of an idea with a whole lot of potential.

We’re Huntin'”: Baby, Demons, and Brotherly Bonds

The interview, conducted by Entertainment Tonight just months before the show’s premiere, captures the infectious enthusiasm and undeniable chemistry between Padalecki and Ackles. Even then, it was clear that these two were destined to become more than just co-stars; they were on the verge of forming a brotherly bond that would last for 15 seasons and beyond

“We’re on the road,” Ackles, sporting a sly smile and a hint of mischief in his eyes, told the interviewer, describing their characters’ demon-hunting adventures. “Driving our ’67 Impala with the weapons loaded in the trunk, and we’re huntin’.”

Padalecki, already radiating Sam Winchester’s earnest intensity, added, “It’s his car, but I take the helm.”

Even at this early stage, the actors’ passion for the show was palpable. They spoke with excitement about the “insane” storylines, the intense training regimen, and the real-life folklore that inspired the series.

10 Years? Sure, Look at ‘The X-Files!'” Predicting a Phenomenon

Perhaps the most endearing moment of the interview comes when the interviewer asks if they believe “Supernatural” has the potential to run for 10 years. Both Padalecki and Ackles, their faces alight with youthful optimism, respond with a resounding “yes.

Sure, look at ‘The X-Files!'” Padalecki exclaimed, referencing the iconic sci-fi series that had just wrapped its nine-season run. “I think it does. Especially with Eric Kripke and his vast array of knowledge of folklore and mythology.

Ackles, with his trademark charm, simply added, “We’d like to think so.”

Little did they know that “Supernatural” would not only surpass 10 years but go on to become a cultural phenomenon, running for a record-breaking 15 seasons and creating a fiercely loyal fandom that continues to celebrate the Winchester brothers’ legacy.

It’s a reminder of the power of passion, hard work, and a little bit of fate in shaping not just a successful series but also enduring friendships and a legacy that continues to inspire and entertain millions of fans worldwide.

So, as we bid farewell to “Supernatural” and its iconic characters, let’s take a moment to appreciate the humble beginnings, the nervous excitement, and the undeniable spark that ignited a phenomenon that would forever change the landscape of television.
