Jensen Ackles Religion

Because of the heavy good versus evil story elements on Supernatural, Ackles has been asked multiple times about his personal views on religion, spirituality and even life after death. When asked by his fans, Jensen has carefully chosen his answers. Below is one such example where he talks about consideration given to playing a fictional character with different beliefs than his own real-life beliefs:

Jensen has said in the past that, “I consider myself a non-denominational Christian. I grew up in a Bible church and still hold those beliefs very close to me.”

Jensen Ackles Homosexuality Controversy

Supernatural has a section of its fandom that are hopeful for a romantic relationship between the characters of Dean Winchester and Castiel (played by Misha Collins). These “shippers”, as this type of fan is referred to, have sometimes raised the prospect of this storyline happening in the show.

During a May 2013 Supernatural convention, Jensen Ackles was asked a question from a bisexual fan about the relationship between the two male characters. Ackles brushed off the question in a manner that some found abrasive:

This caused numerous accounts of the incident to be repeated on the internet, with some Supernatural fans inferring that Ackles was uncomfortable with gay relationships. Others have suggested that it was an unnecessary question and the show has presented both Dean and Castiel as having a deep brotherly friendship with no romantic feelings.
