Jared Padalecki is officially bringing his tall, flannel-clad energy to The Boys! That’s right—Sam Winchester himself is reuniting with his TV brothers Jensen Ackles (a.k.a. Soldier Boy) and Misha Collins in the fifth and final season of Amazon Prime’s ultra-violent, ultra-unhinged superhero series.
And what details has Jared given us about this monumental, demon-exorcising, nostalgia-inducing event? Well… not much. In fact, he basically has no clue what’s going on.
Jared: “I Have No Idea What I’m Doing” (Same, Jared. Same.)
In a recent interview, Jared confessed that he’s as lost as a Winchester without a working Impala.
“I don’t know what we’re doing,” he admitted. “I don’t know if we, like, bump into each other. I don’t know much about it. They’re still trying to write and figure out who’s gonna be there.”
Translation: The writers are currently throwing ideas at a wall and seeing which ones stick. But what we do know? The Supernatural family reunion is happening, and it’s bound to be absolute mayhem.
Jared’s Wife, The Real MVP
Jared also spilled that his biggest motivation for joining The Boys came from—drumroll, please—his wife, Genevieve Padalecki.
“To give credit to my wife, I was like, ‘Hey, I think it’s gonna be a weird role. I don’t know what to do.’ And she was like, ‘You excited about it?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And she goes, ‘Then do it.’”
Honestly, she’s out here dropping life wisdom like it’s nothing. Forget angelic prophecies—this is the kind of straightforward decision-making Sam Winchester could’ve used in literally every season of Supernatural.
Jared’s Big Concern? His Abs.
Now, let’s get to the important stuff: Will Jared have to strip down on The Boys? Because if you’ve seen even one episode, you know that show is basically 50% superhero chaos, 30% blood explosions, and 20% people randomly getting naked.
Jared, naturally, had the same concern:
“I’m sweating now. Literally, my text to [showrunner] Eric Kripke was like, ‘Hey, if I’m getting naked, just give me like a month’s notice to eat broccoli and rice and chicken breasts and all day long just sit there doing push-ups.’”
Honestly? Relatable. If any of us had to debut on The Boys, we’d also be panic-ordering protein powder and Googling “How to get abs in three days.”
Jared: “It’s F—ing Terrifying”
Despite the excitement, Jared admitted that joining The Boys is, in his words, “f—ing terrifying.” Which makes sense, considering the show is basically Supernatural on steroids, if the demons were replaced with corrupt superheroes and the Winchesters just… died instantly.
But one thing’s for sure: If this Supernatural reunion is as epic as we’re all hoping, The Boys might just need a little salt and a Latin exorcism to handle all the Winchester chaos heading its way.
Buckle up. Things are about to get weird.
