The Boys' Star Jensen Ackles On This Week's 'Supernatural' Reunion Jensen Ackles, known for his role as Soldier Boy in The Boys, discussed the recent episode of the series that featured a reunion with cast members from his previous show, Supernatural. The episode, titled “One-Shots,” brought together stars from both series for cameos that highlighted the interconnectedness of the characters and the creative collaboration between the shows. Ackles shared insights into the experience of working with familiar faces while portraying different versions of themselves, as well as the complexities of his character’s evolving dynamic with Homelander. In the episode, Soldier Boy and Homelander (played by Antony Starr) visit Marathon Man (Jared Padalecki), a former member of The Seven, to obtain V1, a substance that could grant Homelander immortality. This mission is part of Billy Butcher’s (Karl Urban) plan to eliminate all Supes using a deadly virus. The scene takes place at Marathon Man’s lavish mansion, where a poker game is hosted by Malchemical (Misha Collins), a character whose powers emit toxic gas. Other notable appearances include Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, Will Forte, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who portray heightened versions of themselves. Ackles described the process of reuniting with his Supernatural co-stars, emphasizing the comfort of working with familiar actors while adapting to a new environment. “Getting on set with those guys in any capacity is always gonna be familiar. It’s always gonna be something that feels normal and just comfortable,” he said. However, he noted the challenge of adjusting to different costumes, crew, and cast members while maintaining the authenticity of their characters.#the_boys #jensen_ackles #misha_collins #supernatural #marathon_man
Jim Beaver Reflects on Loss of On-Screen Wife Carrie Anne Fleming Jim Beaver has shared a heartfelt tribute to Carrie Anne Fleming, his on-screen wife from Supernatural, a month after her death at 51 from breast cancer complications. The actor, who portrayed a supernatural creature hunter and surrogate father figure to the show’s stars, described the loss as an overwhelming experience, comparing it to the grief he felt after the death of his first wife, Cecily Adams, in 2004. Fleming, who played Beaver’s wife on the long-running series, died on February 26, 2024, from complications related to breast cancer. Beaver recounted how their relationship began during filming, noting that he fell for her instantly after meeting her. He described their bond as a “beautiful friendship” that developed during their first day on set, where they bonded over shared experiences and a mutual love for their daughters, both named Madeline Rose. Beaver emphasized the emotional weight of losing two women he considered soulmates, stating, “I never thought my heart could break so badly more than once. But it has.” He highlighted the unique connection between Fleming and his late wife, Cecily, who had also named her daughter Madeline Rose. Beaver described Fleming as a “powerhouse of vitality and goodwill,” praising her kindness and laughter, which he said made him feel “in love” and “silver-eyed.” Despite their deep bond, their relationship was complicated by legal and logistical challenges, including differing nationalities and custody issues. Beaver explained that they chose to love each other “as best we could” despite being unable to be together. He described Fleming as the only person who had ever truly “got me,” a sentiment that resonated deeply after her death.#carrie_anne_fleming #jim_beaver #supernatural #the_winchesters #madeline_rose
