In a recent interview, Justin Hartley opened up about the excitement and dynamics of working alongside his close friend Jensen Ackles for the first time. As their hit show delves into complex themes of family secrets, the chemistry between the two actors brings an extra layer of depth to their performances.
A Long-Awaited Collaboration
Reflecting on their friendship, Justin shared how they’ve known each other for years but never had the chance to collaborate until now. “It’s been great,” he said, expressing the joy of finally acting together. “Sometimes hanging out with them as a friend feels like work, but it’s wonderful. We can just hang out, and then when the cameras roll, we go for it.”
Dysfunctional Family Secrets
This season centers around the theme of dysfunctional family secrets, allowing Justin, who plays Lone Wolf, to showcase his character’s emotional depth. He noted that working opposite Jensen has made the experience even more enjoyable. “He’s put his own flavor on it, and it’s better than we ever could have imagined.”
A Dash of Humor
Their playful camaraderie shines through in their conversations. Justin humorously remarked that he didn’t want to bring “vanilla” to the show, opting instead for a “little rocky road.” Jensen’s engaging presence is palpable, with Justin adding, “He’s not bad to look at. The casting was chef’s kiss; they look like they could be related.”
Future Projects
Looking ahead, Jensen teased plans for Justin to appear in his Prime Video series, The Boys. “I don’t want him to be like a badass vigilante with a sailor’s mouth, but there’s a lot you can say on The Boys that you can’t on CBS,” he joked, clearly enjoying the prospect of their future collaborations.
Romantic Intrigue and Complexity
The conversation shifted to Justin’s on-screen relationship with Sophia, who portrays a fellow tracker. He hinted at the intriguing complexities of their characters, stating, “Things are not what they seem. People hide things for different reasons—to protect themselves or to keep themselves out of jail.”
An Action-Packed Season
As they wrapped up the discussion, Justin promised that Season 2 would be even more thrilling. “It should be like Season 1 on steroids,” he said, leaving fans eager for what lies ahead.
With their close friendship and undeniable chemistry, Justin Hartley and Jensen Ackles are sure to captivate audiences in this exciting new season, making it one to remember.
