From what I heard, the fan side of things freaks him out a little. I think you're right Sare. I don't think he's an ass either - I just think he just wants to do his job, something he loves to do, and just get on with it without having to face the fruitcakes that take things that step too far. I think he had it a little with Days, but nothing like SPN - which is aimed at the market that has the squealing "OMG YOU'RE THE SEXIEST THING IN THE WORLD AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO EXPRESS IT WITHOUT ACTING LIKE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST STALKER-FREAK" fans. Which is a shame really, because this show is just improving their skills as actors like nothing else.
I'm *so* thankful that Jen has Jared to help him in this, because without Jared there to take up the slack in this area, I think he'd have cracked by now. Is he shy? I think a little - at least around those he doesn't know very well or in large crowds. Introverted? For sure. I think he's just a normal guy from Dallas, Texas, who makes his living pretending - effectively and convincingly I might add - that he's someone else and having a good time doing it.
Would I love to meet him? No doubt. I'd love to have a chat and say hi and yeah, I love his work but that I appreciate what he puts into it. I love his home town - and that's something that I share with him, a love of Dallas and Texas and the teams that are from there (Stars, Mavs, Cowboys etc). Same with Jared. They're just Texan boys.
And I also think that he's human. He's not Dean, he's not perfect, and he's a guy. So he's gonna have faults. Everyone does. Can he be an ass? Sure, of course. There will be times when he's a prick to someone - show me someone who isn't?
Nah, Jensen Ackles has my utmost respect. I love his work, and while I say I love him - I mean that in what I've seen, what I've heard, what I've read - he's the kind of guy I'd have for a friend. *shrug*
I found the same thing with Mike Modano - lovely guy one on one - hates crowds. He's shy and introverted, but he does the publicity cuz he has to. I have all the time in the world for Mike - and I imagine Jensen to be very similar in this regard.
