A couple people on my flist, perhaps more on yours, posted a link to this article/interview thingy. I haven't read it because as folks were nice to point out it has spoilers. But this bit was snipped out to share with the rest of the class.

- someone asked a question about how he’d play the angel Michael if Dean ends up saying yes. Jensen said he’d take inspiration from the way Jared played Lucifer possessing Sam in “The End” – in fact, when actor Matt Cohen came to Jensen for advice on how to play young John possessed by Michael, Jensen actually took Matt to his trailer and played him the clip of Jared as Lucifer. “See?” he said to Matt, “Same guy, but different. You’re still his brother, but also this angelic otherworldly presence.” Jensen went on to say, “I was really impressed with Jared in “The End” as Lucifer, really proud of him.” He says that if he does ever get to play Michael, he’ll take Jared’s lead and try to copy how well he did it.

Hahahaahahahaahahahahaahaha. No, seriously. Hahahahaahah. *ahem*

Like, really? Did he ACTUALLY LITERALLY say, "Same guy, but different." to Matt? I really fucking want to know what Matt's reaction was.

These are my guesses.

"Yeah, I'm an actor." / said like Jensen's a moron.
"Oh, wow. I thought Jared had a twin brother." / said sarcastically
"Damn, I thought it was a brother I didn't know about." / said sincerely because perhaps Matt's the worldest biggest tool
"Tell me about the rabbits, Lennie."  / more sarcasm.
"Get out of town and take the bus!" / okay, that one's just for me.

What are your guesses?

He says that if he does ever get to play Michael, he’ll take Jared’s lead and try to copy how well he did it

Uh, what? Jensen's going to "TRY TO COPY" what he believes* is good acting? He's not going to, I dunno, actually work at being a good actor?

Well, all right then.


*I think Jared and Jensen are mediocre actors. Apparently Jensen thinks that Jared's pretty damn decent. But your opinion on Jared's acting may be different. / disclaimed

It turns out that Jensen is the super-sweet and sensitive type who treats his honey like the most special girl in the world-like a princess, in fact. "I'm just an old-fashioned guy," the 19-year-old confesses. "I like to be chivalrous. I like to open doors for a girl, give her my coat when it's cold outside, stuff like that." "Stuff like that" also includes putting a lot of care into creating thoughtful, meaningful gifts for his girlfriend. One Valentine's Day several years ago, Jensen shares, "Instead of giving my girlfriend a really expensive piece of jewelry or something like that, I cut out construction paper and used crayons and everything like that to make a card with hearts on it for her. It took a lot of time."

You know that when the trailer for My Bloody Valentine starts to air on television the girl from the quote above is going to be in her living room picking up one of her kid's toys and something about the ad will catch her attention and she'll stop and watch and see Jensen and see what the movie is called and she'll snort and mutter, 'My Bloody Valentine indeed. I hope he dies.' and one of her children will hear her and say, 'Why do you want the nice man to die, mommy?' And she'll say, 'Billy, fetch mommy a beer and then get your brothers and sisters and gather 'round while momma tells you a story from days gone by ...'

"It took a lot of time."  <--- THAT IS MY FAVOURITE.
