Supernatural star Jensen Ackles has revealed how he manages to cope with fame.
Jensen Ackles is able to cope with fame thanks to the “stability” in his family life.
The 47-year-old actor- who has been married to former One Tree Hill star Elta Danneel Graul since 2010 and has caughter Justice, 12, as well as eight-year-old twins Zeppelin and Arrow with her – moved from Texas to Connecticut with his family two years ago and has now explained that his home life has given him a “good foundation” for when the cameras are away.
He told PEOPLE: “I’ve got a really, really quiet, peaceful life. When I go home, I’m home. I’m not Jensen the actor. I’m Jensen the husband, the dad, the friend, the brother, the son. I think having that stability in my personal life has really given me a good grounding, a good foundation for what I do.”
The Supernatural star – who began his career when he was cast in the soap opera Days of Our Lives – has even found that he has been able to impress his eldest because of the celebrity connections he has.
He said: “It’s not just because of what I do, but because of who I know sometimes.
“That’s given me a lot of credit — not only with her, but with her friends, which is key.”
However, he is not so keen on the idea of her watching his latest role in the racy drama The Boys just yet.
He said: “I don’t ever want her watching,” he jokes, before adding, “Maybe when she’s in her 30s.”
Despite this, Jensen recently spoke of his excitement that his eldest will be able to watch him in Countdown.
He said: “I do think my oldest is old enough to watch this, so she’s fired up to see it.
“There’s not a lot that they can watch yet. She (Justice) hasn’t really gotten to see her dad in action. And in this one, I’ll be in action.
“But they know. Trust me, they know.”
