Ten Reasons To Drool Over Jensen Ackles
87
Jensen Ackles, how do we love thee, let us count the ways....
Ahem. Okay, we're not actually crazy, and we have no intention of rewriting a perfectly good poem in his honor. We'll leave that to his girlfriend.
We are, however, definitely ... appreciative. (Yeah, that's the best word for it.) So, here's a tongue-in-cheek look at some of the things we appreciate most about Jensen Ross Ackles.
A Quick Lesson in Who-the-Heck-Is-This-Guy? For Those Who Aren't Sure
Jensen is currently best known as one of the stars of the CW's cult hit Supernatural, where he plays Dean, the elder of the two ghost-busting Winchester brothers.
He has also had recurring roles as Eric Brady on Days of Our Lives, Alec (X5-494) on Dark Angel, C.J. on Dawson's Creek, and Jason Teague on Smallville, as well as a few mostly forgettable films, of which the most interesting is probably the Marilyn Monroe bio-pic Blonde, partly because it involves Jensen dancing in a kimono and having a drunken threesome with "Marilyn" and "Cass," aka Grey's Anatomy's Patrick "McDreamy" Dempsey. (Ah, crossover bliss. Now if only we can get Jensen on screen with Gina Torres, Katee Sackhoff, or Claudia Black, I could die happy...)
But enough of that. On to the Ten Reasons to Drool Over Jensen Ackles...
1. You Can Play Connect-the-Dots With His Freckles
2. He Sings
Guys who sing are hot. It's just a fact of life.
Especially guys who sing well, which he reportedly does.
The following video was taken by a fan at the Asylum Convention in England in 2007. Jensen's friend Jason Manns gave a concert there, and Jensen sang backup for "Crazy Love." Jason has since persuaded Jensen to record a version of the song together, which can be heard (and downloaded) on Jason's Myspace page. (Crazy Love JJ)
3. He's a Scruffmuffin
4. ... But He Cleans Up Well
5. He's a Closet Dork
And sometimes not-so-closet. Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki is especially good at bringing the goofball out in Jensen.
More Evidence of Dorkiness
6. He Makes Bow-Legs Look Hot
Sometimes, photographers try to hide the fact that he has bow-legs by making him stand like this:
... but we fans know better. Own 'em, Jensen. Bow legs are adorable!
7. He Rides ... Ponies
Well, horses actually, but Supernatural costar Jared Padalecki, who is 6'4", calls them ponies and ponies is more fun.
There's just something about a guy who rides horses. Maybe it's my own horsiness coming out, but at the very least, any guy who's good with horses is gonna have great hands and a voice like, well, like Jensen's, for example. Deep and soothing. Yummy.
The following video is a very early interview, from Jensen's days on Days of Our Lives. I don't ride Western or even follow it very closely, but in my inexpert opinion, Jensen shows good balance, but should probably ease up a bit on the horse's mouth. Obviously, it's impossible to say how much of that was at the request of the cameraman, though. A hundred years after Black Beauty, non-horsey people still like to see a horse's head up and champing at the bit.
For those of you who don't want to spend the whole interview analyzing Jensen's riding technique (chances are, most of you), there are some lovely shots of Jensen's ridiculously long eyelashes. (Life is so not fair.)
8. His Lips Are X-Rated
I'm not going to go into any great detail about this, 'cause there are better things to do.
Like look at them.
We can keep going here for, ah, quite a long time, but I guess we'll call it quits for now. Just one more, 'cause we can't talk about his lips without digging up at least one picture of the famous "ducky lips."
Okay, fine we lied. Two more.
It's not our fault Dean has an oral fixation.
9. You Can Fit His Ass on Your Graphing Calculator
...and some have.
It is y=-(sin(x^(1.7/6)+4)+(1/x))+10, to be precise.
10. He Can Actually Act
And in the end, this is what it really comes down to. In Hollywood, hot guys are a dime a dozen. If you watch enough TV and movies (or even relatively little, like me), you get almost blind to them, because everybody's beautiful. Your eyes register the pretty face, but if that's all it is, you forget about it almost as soon as it's offscreen.
In order to be remembered, you need to be more than just a freak genetic accident that happens to produce perfect cheekbones, a chiselled jaw, and a long-lashed pair of pretty green eyes. And Jensen is. His charisma pretty much oozes from the screen, whatever his role, and he's got talent too. I'd be the first to admit that his roles have not always had the highest quality writing that money can buy, but his talent has been able to turn some really banal and sometimes outright crappy lines into something that means more.
And when the writing has been good, well. Supernatural's writers are not perfect - their handling of exposition in particular sometimes makes me want to beat my head against a wall - but one thing they do really, really well is family dynamics, and Jensen has absolutely shone in his role as Dean, the "good son" of the Winchester family who, despite his wisecracking bravado and penchant for muscle cars, mullet rock, and women, acted practically as a surrogate wife for his revenge obsessed father after his mother was killed, and raised his younger brother almost entirely on his own starting from the age of four.
Gorgeous, charismatic, and talented. Some people have all the luck.
We wish you all the best, Jensen, and thank you for your role in bringing Dean and Alec and Jason and CJ and Eric and everybody else to life.

He is a very handsome guy, even though I had no clue he was before visiting your hub. Thanks for sharing this cute pictures of him.
Oh i knew who Jensen Ackles was before coming to your hub(i watched Dawson's creek for one and is faithful to Supernatural) He is adorable but most of all he really is an awesome actor. I think that his girlfriend is just the cutest thing and since he is so hot she would have to equal it. I like Jared too (that is why i am faithful to Supernatural because they are so good at what they do--acting and being heartthrobs but that is a whole other story) but we are just talking about Jensen :)
PS. Nice pic of Jared! I am beginning to wonder do i watch supernatural for the hunks or the storyline, hmmmmmm
I agree with everything you said about Jensen, and most of all, # 10, because if it wasn't for the talent, yeah, he'd be just another pretty face, one amonst the hundreds. But that talent just makes Jensen shine.
awesome pie, kerry. this made my friday the 13th a little more bearable. at least i can ignore RL crashing around my head and feel better by staring at the pretty on this page.
honestly ~ thank you! as i said elsewhere this week, jensen is a consummate artist, like michelangelo with a script in his hand instead of a chisel or paintbrush. i look forward to his continuing to shine at whatever he does.
Oh yup yup.
Number 10 stands out the most, and my god, does he have the looks, but I so wouldn't care enough to be here right now if he wasn't one of the most talented actors I've ever seen.
And I'm sorry, but one reason really should have just been those EYES! I love the pictures of the lips, though. Sinful, they are. *fans self*
:P haha
Thanks for this, I really enjoyed reading it, and I totally agree. (with most of it. :P) Ooh ohh ohh, and woah, I had no idea about the calculator thing. Poor guy, I wonder if he knows there's an equation to his ass. LOL.
Anywho V V V thats a nice JPad pic. hee.
:)
- Sammeh
You had me at playing connect the dot with his freckles. GUH.
What a MAGNIFICENT list. Thank you. XD
That was a cute article. I particularly liked the graphing calculator bit. Anyway, yes, Jensen is very handsome, but he has his parents to thank for that. It's not an accomplishment he can take credit for. But his acting talent is awesome. I enjoy watching him give us Dean Winchester. He and his family can be proud of his accomplishments. And I have no anti-Danneel sentiments. She's a very pretty woman, seems like a nice girl, and I hope she and Jensen are very happy together and thinking about making some grandparents happy sooner or later.
cool
Thanks for this! I just happened to stumble onto your hub. I felt like a teenie bopper again staring at all those gorgeous pics. Straight from my husband's mouth: "I hate him. He got to kiss Jessica Alba AND Kristin Kreuk!" I guess he's one of the only few actors out there handsome enough to be matched up with those beauties. I do really like his role as Dean Winchester, and shrieked when the show's season ended with him in hell. Anyhow, this is a great hub--good writing, great pics and videos, nice links. I had no idea he was dating Daneel! I actually also like her and wish they'd bring her back again on One Tree Hill. I guess we'll see...
I hope that Jensen Ackles and his wife stephanie ware stays together and live in harmony. He gave an recent interview again about her on national tv and on magazine books. Here it is:http://soy.bluebbva.com/2007/12/jensen-ackles-un-t
''other data to know him thoroughly:
He is one who married with stephanie ware of september 6 of 2006
love the interview, i'm so happy because he isn't dating that hussy.
animalguy, Jensen Ackles is not married and never has been, to Stephanie Ware or anyone else. Please stop spreading that lie. Additionally, although I am not fluent in Spanish, I am fluent enough to be able to tell that the "interview" you linked was nothing of the kind.
If you are the same person who usually spreads the Stephanie Ware lie (who usually claims to be her "cousin"), please go away and never come back. And please get your prescriptions renewed, you obviously need them. If you are not, please check your facts before throwing around insults and lies.

I LOVE JENSEN HE IS SO CUTE AND SEXY! I LOVE JARED TOO!
I LOVE JENSEN HE IS SO CUTE AND SEXY! I LOVE JARED TOO!
So hot it should be illegal!
I agree, I think the eyes should have been one. Sometimes I kinda lose myself in those things, along with the acting. When I watch Jensen on tv, I honestly forget that its a movie, hes so good and drags me into the story without me realizing it, sometimes I get mad, cuz it happens so quick, I didnt get to enjoy the view. Yeah him and Daneel would have some majorly good looking babies.
Hi, I just found this site, and I agree with your list, but especially about the acting. As you say, good-looking guys are all over Hollywood, so there's got to be something more about the actor than just his looks, and Jensen has that in spades. Jensen brings Dean Winchester to life. Season 4 of Supernatural has been amazing and so has Jensen's acting.
Thanks for posting this list. It was a fun read...and I love looking at the pictures.
i know that jensen is hot.I love him he is so cute.by the way Season 4 of supernatural was amazing.THANK YOU FOR THE PICTURES HE LOOK HOT.
I can't *believe* you left out the eyes! For shame. They're the most dazzling, piercing, heart-breaking things I've ever seen.
But still, VERRRRY nice list. And pictures. I can't stop staring and wondering how the hell someone got so damn gorgeous. I'm going to pretend it's partially airbrushing because it's almost unfathomable that someone could be that damn fine, =P.
Oh, and totally agree about the bow legs. They're hot.
I gotta' say,it took me a little while longer to warm up to Jensen than to Jared. I only learned of SUPERNATURAL a little less than half way throo the 3rd season,but-DEFINATLEY better late than never!;P
At first, I didn't think i'd like the show,because quoth my brother, "it was gorey and kool!" but when I watched it for the first time,on T.V.(I think -to my utter unfotunance*cough*-it was either BAD DAY at BLACK ROCK or(uhh)the one wiht the rabbit's foot.(and if that's not the right part of the Winchester saga,than I beg of you to please spare me.:{))anyways,)I watched it for the first time and it was like,WHOA!! HOT DAMN!!! ....... my god.....and how long have I been missing out on this?!(well,for Jared)
But I started to warm up to Jensen once I started seeing his softer side, and now that i've read this hub, it's like-lord,grant me patients,but please hurry.-Jenson's so HOT!;D-but for me,it's more like aT.V. star hot.-sorry, but-I can't wait to read the JARED hub,so-buy!
ohh i love his eyes.. are they hazel o green?
i love it your list
WOW!! Some of the pictures he looks so cute. I must admit before this hub I never heard of him but now I will have to watch his acting. I like guys acting their age and he looks young (instead of Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise pretending to be young)...hehe
OMG! Thanks for the pics! I really adore him! He's so hot!
HOT HOT HOT he's MY APSOLUTE FAVORITE!! NOboDy Better BABY!!!
Jensen is actually one of the best actors ive seen in a few years. he takes night television to a whole new level. supernatural without Jensen would not have made it this far and they wouldnt have chosen a better person for the role of Dean, he is the best they wouldve come up with...
ps:most times i really do wonder what the grammy's are doing not lookin at people like Jensen. He is a great actor.
to taryn - lol do you mean the emmy's and oscars? because the grammy's is an award show for singer/songwriters :P
But yeah it's true, Jensen is an AMAZING actor and he should be racking up those awards! I am a hugeee fan of Supernatural and I own every season on DVD and probably watched each one more than once. Both Jensen and Jared are extremely good-looking talented actors but I'm on the Dean/Jensen boat! Love, love, love his eyes and everything else that was mentioned on the list! Especially the scruffmuffin one! Squee!
i rally love jensen!! he's so really sexy. i dunno what to do with him. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH cant sleep because of him.. arghhhh
WOW he is so sexy......
This page Rocks. I am way too old for crushing on a Television Star, but here I am. Its the eyes, the arms, and omygod are those lips legal? He's a yummy dirty little secret.
I happened upon the "Groundhog Day" episode in Oct 2008. I went out the next day and bought the first three seasons, both Dark angel seasons, Saw My bloody Valentine, 10 inch Hero (its not so bad and he dosent play Dean) and even Devour.
Which leads to a question... Why dosent he pick better movie roles?
HE can actually act, which in itself is a complete surprise. I would love to see him in some new kind of movie, out of the Dean winchester role.
Its a healthy obsession anyway ladies.... Feel No Guilt!!!
What about his smile or eyes?!
I would love to see you do one of these for Miisha Collins.
tomboy, actually I would love to! Misha seems like an extremely cool guy - I became an instant fan in the final scene of Lazarus Rising and even more of one when I read his first SPN interviews!
While I'm thinking about my ten reasons (and doing the research and pic hunting to back them up,) I do have a Squidoo lens about Misha. Check it out here: http://www.squidoo.com/mishacollins

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Please feel free to comment with your favorites, or the pics you think I should have included that I didn't.
I also realize I may be asking for it by mentioning her so prominently, but please, NO Danneel bashing. (Or Jared bashing, but I figure that's less likely. Or, for that matter, Sandy, Jo/Alona, Ruby/Katie, Bela/Lauren... you get the idea. Play nice, or I WILL delete your comment.)
