And I know it was something that he was struggling with. I know it was not an easy scene to A) perform but also digest personally cause it was his goodbye. And it was difficult for me opposite him, watching him give such a great performance, to continue to stay in the character as Dean. Because Jensen was watching this great performance from this friend, and also a character that he is, you know, is so fond of. And I was very much taken out of the scene. For me. Luckily it was on his coverage so he didn't see the Dean washing away and Jensen going just going like [admiration face]. But, you know, I had to remember: I need to give him- I need to stay in it for him. And he was so distractingly good in that moment that it made my job very difficult because all I wanted to do is sit there and watch him perform. Because he was doing such a bang-up job of- of-. And in my mind, I was sitting there thinking that... you know, it was like this flashback- you know they say that when you're about to die your life flashes before you. In my mind, I was flashing back to Lazarus Rising and seeing him walk through the barn with the sparks flying and all of the sudden all of these clips in my mind of Castiel and walking into the lake, and all of these things that are ingrained in my memory and seeing this now character have to say goodbye, but also knowing that my friend was in there having to struggle with this as well and I just thought he did such an artful job and such an incredibly nuanced performance in that moment that I was really proud of.

There are two possibilities: the hosts asked Jensen and Misha if he could announce them as destiel and they were like “hell yeah brother” OR they were like “teehee you should introduce us as destiel” and EITHER WAY that knowledge will be rattling around my head for nigh on 50 years
“i didn’t play it like that” this and “i didn’t play it like that” that. here’s the thing, i don’t think my guy jackles understood that when he said that he left us all with two choices; either he lied for whatever reason and did play it like that or OR he really didn’t play it like that and jensen ackles wanted to fuck misha collins so bad it made dean winchester look stupid
