He is truly amazingly talented. He is #7 on my top ten list of actors which includes Tommy Lee Jones, John Lithgow, Denzel Washington, Al Pacino, etc. With very few exceptions, my list does not include a lot of "pretty boys." He (Jensen) can do comedy, drama . . . he BECOMES the part.
And, okay, I guess I can see where you CAN be shy and be an actor. I actually used to act when I was very, very young at the community theatre and loved it. However, I passed out (literally on the ground) when giving a speech. When I acted, I wasn't "me." So . . .
And you mentioned him visibly relaxing when Jared is around. You are right actually. He really does. Somone very kindly shared some Paley vids w/me and there is a big difference between that and say comicon. He was REALLY relaxed at Paley. At comicon, he seemed nervous but trying to hide it (gum-popping, etc.).
Hmmmm . . . so my feelings that maybe he was a LITTLE shy but more private than anything else . . . I may be having to revise those. He may be a lot more shy than I thought he was. Either way, his talent is as fantastic as his ass (yeah, I went there).

He does. Watching him is just... he's actually an artist, not one of those one-dimensional dummies standing in a set.
Yeah, in the Paley videos he was extremely relaxed. I was actually thinking specifically of the interview he was giving Kristin of E! at the Paley event. He's all uptight and awkward and shifty and suddenly Jared comes up behind him in the frame and he looks at him, and they both reach out and touch each other while still talking to other people, and then when Jensen looks back at the camera, he's all relaxed and smiling. And then when Jared comes up behind him and actually grabs his shoulders and saves him from awkward questions, you can actually see him sort of lean back into him.
It's the same with pictures of the two of them. In pictures where he's alone, Jensen looks like he's missing an arm or something, the way he stands there suspended awkwardly. Same with Jared. They stick their hands in their pockets for something to do and they both have these tight, practiced smiles. Pictures where they're together, they wrap themselves around each other, and suddenly they're relaxed and laughing and their expressions soften up and become genuine and suddenly it's like all is right in their worlds.
*cough* Not that I'm implying anything about their relationship... *wanders off to look at pictures of them together* |

No, ummm, no. Of course not!
Seriously, it's really kinda' nice that they seem to have that friendship and I hope it will last LOOOONG beyond the series - which will hopefully last at least TEN SEASONS (hear me gods of fate?) if all is right with the world . . . |

Haha, I think I know which one you mean.
Reminded me a lot of me. It's like I couldn't talk anymore when I run into an attractive guy. It's a curse!

Sounds great! We could go to some Supernatural event together (without talking of course, because I don't know you two) and then hide behind the palm until it's over.

Wow, you're a brave soul! I couldn't do that.

Sounds reasonable. I'll have to think it over.
Can't blame him for getting uncomfortable when being stuck with a bunch of screaming fangirls. I'd probably start to cry. |

Of course not. Who would think that? *whistles innocently*
But seriously, hugging, leaning into each other for support, it's just what you do with really close friends. Perfectly normal. |

As for the shy factor...from what I've seen and heard, I believe he actually IS quite shy. I, for one, am pretty shy. I don't like being singled out and I'm very self-conscious and HATE having my picture taken. But I was a drama student in high school, and was perfectly comfortable performing. Jensen was a stage actor and then went on to act in front of people he knows and feels comfortable with in closed sets all day. Even then, when asked what he's afraid of in one interview, he pointed at the camera, laughed awkwardly and said "that". It's when he goes outside the closed-in set and steps out from behind the cameras to see a bunch of shrieking fangirls that he gets uncomfortable. And hey, if I had thousands of girls CRYING and screaming my name, I'd be pretty uncomfortable, too. But if you watch his interviews, he's much more comfortable during the ones where Jared is standing right there with him. He VISIBLY relaxes when Jared shows up (ex. Kristin's Paley interview), and when he's without Jared, he very rarely looks at the camera when he's talking -- instead, he looks at the interviewer.
So yeah. I don't think you can't be shy if you're an actor -- I think you have to just really love what you do, and try to overcome that fear to do it. It's probably nerve-wracking for him, but the fact that he manages to put out fantastic performances despite it just speaks for his talent.  |
Oh yes, he definitely seems shy and it's really cute. And he really seems more relaxed with sb around him.
And it's even more amazing then, his performances, I agree with the statement. In my book, he's really one of the best actors I've ever seen.

That's why I think Jensen is one of the best actors ever - his wide acting range. And I'm gonna repeat myself but an actor can be amazing at drama and suck at comedy because comedy is one of the most difficult things in acting and Jensen is just awesome at comedy.
I think he's both shy and private and that one feature supports the other and vice versa. (I'm not sure if I expressed it right, my English sometimes sucks horribly.)
Well, I think he's all fantastic. *eyes him* Yep, not only that one part.  But I really love his character, personality and talent in the first place. And his looks, it's just a very very nice bonus.

Watching him is a pure joy and orgasmic experience. Of course I mean artistically. *halo appears*
Awww! I remember that. Their relationship is so awesome and I bet it helps a lot to pull all those great performances off.
Better not be implying. *pirate*

Well, to be honest, I LOVE SN but I'd be able to live without it if Jensen made it into movies. *sighs* I want him so much on the big screen. He'd be great!
