SuperNormal: Public Appearances, Tweets, Media And Other Social Media Of The SPN Cast

[Aeryn13]

Well, that`s the Hollywood game and it is working. Jensen doesn`t self-promote even remotely that hard and to be frank, I think he had a higher popularity count some years back. On the one hand, I can understand being more laidback in a job but actor is an unusual profession to do it.

It's funny to me that JP would choose to wear plaid on his day off.

Like, you'd think he'd be eager to put on something very sophisticated, maybe even formal, after having to wear plaid shirts and jeans for days on end at work. ;)

It was a set visit. Misha is in Cas costume.  Pretty sure they are in Sam and Dean costumes.

Ah, that explains it!

I'm like, who would do that? Who wears plaid literally 24-7? Apparently nobody, thank god ;)

I agree Jared is more out-there. OTOH, maybe it's Jensen's day off and he's hanging with his likely-in-her-ninth-month wife.  It's pretty unusual for just one of them to do a show related interview.  UNLESS it's an AKF campaign tie in.  Then I can see Jared doing this solo. 

[Aeryn13]

Jensen getting more time-off and not doing much outside strictly shooting (and cons) makes sense now but it has pretty much always been this way with the self-promotion levels of both of them.

Jared does one, maybe two talk-show appearances on Monday as well. Those are more related to the Gilmore Girls revival. They`ll probably ask an SPN question, too, but that is how they are promoted. And since he only does a one-scene cameo in the revival, that is a heavy promotional uptick. My guess is the show freed him on Monday and his management crammed in whatever promotional stuff they could find in this window of opportunity. Don`t think Jensen is getting that particular day off really.

[rue721]

For me, it's not so much the volume of the sales pitches, it's the tone. Jared is always so old fashioned about it. Like he's a carnival barker. Or a used car salesman. Or like he's the lady in a commercial testimonial for a new kind of mop. I dunno, it just rubs me the wrong way. YMMV.

Oh, I`m not a fan of it. I just wish Jensen would grab more opportunities. I absolutely think he had/has them so I`d love to see him a tad more assertive. But it`s his career, no matter how much I wanna shake him sometimes. 

[Bessie]

I have the impression that neither one of them is particularly ambitious when it comes to their acting careers. 

[auntvi]

I think Jared doing the circuit is required support for the new Gilmore Girls Netflix series, not for himself.

Apparently TNT is having a Supernatural mini-marathon right now for those who can watch it.  (I didn't see anything advertised about it, but haven't watched the reruns for the last few days.)  Mystery Spot is coming up (not next, which is Fresh Blood, but right after that!)

[SueB]

It really is JUST Jared talking Supernatural on KellyLive.  I'm glad we're getting publicity, a little surprised Jensen isn't there but I'll go back to my theory that either he is stopping by home or filming.  With the boys in NJ this weekend, this makes sense.

[catrox14]

It might be Jared but I'm betting it's really about Gilmore Girls, and he'll speak a little about SPN. 

[MysteryGuest]

It wouldn't surprise me if Jensen is spending as much time at home as he can right now.  Danneel might be due in December, but with twins, you just never know.  

[TaraS1]

I don't watch Supernatural, but Mark Pellegrino appears to have spent hours last night screaming obscenities in all caps at fans on Twitter.  I don't know all the backstory of the stuff he's raging about, but I'm always amazed (and thoroughly entertained!) by celebs who go off like that on social media.  Where is your publicist to tell you it's a bad, bad idea? lol

[SueB]

Live with Kelly summary:

- Just Jared, just Supernatural

- Big announcement: Gen is pregnant* and due in March

- Good interview, standard questions, nothing new. 

- Sneak peek scene discussion in Spoilers.  

*Truth: they flashed over to Gen early in the interview and I couldn't help but notice she had a bigger chest - a classic sign of pregnancy- and I wondered if she was preggers.  

[goldy]

Congrats to Jared and his wife!

I guess when they found out that Jensen and Daneel are having twins, they got to work.  Can't have the Ackles outnumbering them!  ;-)

[Demented Daisy]

Oh dear.  I stopped following Pellegrino a few months ago after he lamented that Hollywood is biased against him because he's a conservative Republican.  Doesn't seem like he has any problems getting jobs, but what do I know?

Yeah that's been an ugly on going thing.  I think that might explain why TAW has disappeared from the SPN radar almost completely.

[Demented Daisy]

Oh, heavens to Murgatroyd....

[Binns]

Apparently the big announcement is that Gen is pregnant! These two guys crack me up. 

I didn't actually watch the vid yet bc I'm at work. 

[Binns]

She's due in March. The commune grows!

[bethy]

Does Jared sound different in real life? Like deeper or something? It's cute. :)

I think his general point of social media not being a court of law to condemn people is solid. Anyone can say anything about anything on there. If what is said is true, there are other ways to pursue it.  

Maybe he shouldn`t engage that much but I have more respect for those tweets then "here is a picture of a supposedly rude service industry worker, go harass the shit out of them". 

[catrox14]

Jared seemed so oddly nervous. Maybe he was lost without Jensen. LOL.    

What a weird way to promote the show.

Any  discussion of SPN was peppered in between stories of how he met Gen and how she's holding down the homefront.  Kelly gives the minor synopsis about the show running 12 years, longest running sci-fi show,  Jared mentions finishing the 251st episode, saying he was 22/23 and single when he started and now he has two kids and OH BTW, number 3 on the way. Kelly is all that's HUGE NEWS, then the cohost mentions Gilmore Girls and Kelly closes with "I'm so happy for you with the success of the show but more so personally".

EW photo shoot, which was fan voted in BTW, notwithstanding, this show does not do promotion. They don't do talk shows. I could see it being Gilmore Girls related even more than SPN, but the interview had nothing but a name drop of him playing Dean in Gilmore Girls as part of his introduction and a drop at the very end. 

Color me cynical but given Chico is besties with Gen, that whole interview seemed far more about announcing the pregnancy than promoting the show. 

[SueB]

Just had an interview on Extra on Facebook. 

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154211453224755&id=26676834754&_rdr

no mention of pregnancy. 

Chico must have set up interviews for him while he was in town.  

[Diane]

It does seem a little strange. Who knows.

Jared made his own mess and whatever grief he got for it was his and his alone.

Pellegrino would have been better served to ignore whatever he read on Twitter even if it's people directing it at him. He doesn't have to reply or say anything or just say he has no comment.  He picked the wrong situation to make a case about the unfairness of the court of social media IMO.

Possible. I side-eye that Chico is paid as a publicist in general by the CW when she acts as a personal PR-manager for the wife of one actor she happens to be BFF with. If she wants that, said BFF can pay her, not the network.

He was answering fan questions about the show. Not really a good opportunity to drop in pregnancy stuff,  even when he said he wanted to have Ruby back on the show ( NO. DO.NOT.WANT, Jared)  He was so much more comfortable in that interview than on Kelly. It's like night and day LOL.  Maybe he knew the questions ahead but I didn't get that impression since those questions were not that different than con questions. 

[Binns]

Holy hell, Pellegrino! 

[auntvi]

Well, the interview on Kelly wasn't what I expected! He was speaking really fast but it didn't come across as nervous to me. More kinda ADD. I'll have to watch the facebook video later. 

Ed: I guess supernatural does do publicity. Nothing to be cynical about.

I'm good with my cynicism about the Kelly Live appearance. 

Big difference between the MTV Facebook interview and Kelly Live. MTV featured Jared but IMO he was clearly promoting the show.  He name dropped his co-stars which he didn't do in the Kelly Live interview.  The EW photo spread, Comic-Con interviews, MTV Facebook, PopFest appearance, ALL specifically done to promote the show not just the actors.  When was the last time they went on a national chat show to promote anything show related? I really can't remember.

Just watched the NJCon videos of J2 (Gold and afternoon).  They were in FINE form.  

[SueB]

J2 Gold panel.  Itty bitty spoiler about the nature of the episode they are currently filming.

[ohjoy]

It's ridiculous that I even care this much about it, but I'm kinda hoping they have a girl, so they can have two boys and a girl to go with Jensen & Daneel's two girls and a boy.

[catrox14]

Well, hot damn.  Jensen named one of the best dressed men of the week by a men's online fashion and style magazine "D'Marge.
He's in the company of Cristiano Ronaldo and Pharell.

Quote

Elsewhere on the celebrity circuit was Supernatural star Jensen Ackles who channelled his all-American cool in a black leather jacket, charcoal washed denim, and black leather desert boots. A pair of wayfarers were also mandatory in completing this masculine killer wardrobe.

Ugh. Matt Cohen and his son are giving me all the Young!John/Baby!Dean feels. I can't recall ever seeing Baby/TinyToddler!Dean even in pictures.

This just reminds me that at some point Dean could always count on John to protect him and love him and that John was probably so happy with his baby and wife and in one night it all goes to shit and now I want to cry.

The first two episodes of Kings of Con is available now at this Mashable article

It's totally NSFW and pretty funny, IMO. But I can see it possibly pissing off fans, but let the meltdown begin.

The stars of this show are Justin and Jaden LOLOLOL

I watched it, I'm not remotely pissed off.  Thought it was pretty funny.  Although, I must admit, I had that cringe-embarrassment thing going for Rob big time.
