And I mean, we&#8217;re kind of friends for life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He then compared watching Collins and Padalecki filming their<em> Boys <\/em>scenes to &#8220;watching your son go up to bat for the first time.&#8221; He clarified that Collins and Padalecki &#8220;did great&#8221; playing their unnamed<em> Boys<\/em> characters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had no reason to do that but I think it&#8217;s just a testament to the bond that we share. We had a great time,&#8221; said Ackles, who played Dean Winchester on <em>Supernatural<\/em>, which ended in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Ackles also warned <em>The Boys <\/em>fans that the scenes he shot with Collins and Padalecki were &#8220;disgusting&#8221;and &#8220;outrageous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there were multiple days where we looked at each other, we&#8217;re like, &#8216;What are we doing?'&#8221; recalled Ackles.<\/p>\n<p>He then noted that <em>The Boys<\/em> is created by<strong> Eric Kripke<\/strong>, the creator of <em>Supernatural<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re all used to Kripke&#8217;s universes, so it wasn&#8217;t that shocking,&#8221; said Ackles to the publication.<\/p>\n<p>He also told <em>Entertainment Tonight <\/em>that it took some time for Ackles, Collins, and Padalecki to act as different characters than their <em>Supernatural<\/em> counterparts for <em>The Boys<\/em>. As <em>Supernatural <\/em>fans are aware, Padalecki played Dean&#8217;s brother Sam, and Collins played angel Castiel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But having us together, I would say it was weird working on camera with them, playing different characters than we&#8217;re used to playing with each other,&#8221; said Ackles during the<em> Entertainment Tonight <\/em>interview. &#8220;And that was a little tricky. It took us a few takes to kind of shake that out, but we got there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading\">Jensen Ackles Shared How Jared Padalecki &amp; Misha Collins Became Cast Members for &#8216;The Boys&#8217; Season 5<\/h2>\n<p>In a June 2025 interview on <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TEv7WCUH1wo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a><\/em>, Ackles explained that Kripke, who left <em>Supernatural <\/em>following its fifth season, wanted to invite Collins and Padalecki for <em>The Boys<\/em> season 5, which premieres on April 8.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Eric Kripke, who created <em>Supernatural<\/em>, he is also the writer-showrunner of <em>The Boys<\/em>.
