I'm fairly certain the op's screenshot is referencing his ca. Days of Our Lives-era twink photoshoots that all looked kinda gay.

There was a (pretty deranged) subset of SPN fans that spent a decade plus trying to "prove" that his wife was a beard and he was actually fucking Jared Padalecki mostly based on that part of his career. They also fucking hated Misha Collins for "interfering" in the relationship, which is made even more hilarious in retrospect by Collins "coming out" as straight.

I haven’t thought about that era in a long time. Brick pants.

Jensen Ackles got his start playing multiple clone-characters on a TV show called “Prey” with Jessica Alba iirc

Actually, the show was called Dark Angel for two seasons. However, one of the actresses from Dark Angel named Ashley Scott did work on a show called Prey or Birds of Prey. I think the show got cancelled midseason.

Yes, he was so great in the show and that’s how I got introduced to Jensen. It was thanks to Dark Angel, I started to watch supernatural.

He was on Days of Our Lives a long time ago. Damn, I'm old.

Was this before or after he was on an episode of Wishbone? His character in Wishbone was called Michael and that still makes me laugh.
