Jared Padalecki, best known for his role as Sam Winchester in the long-running series “Supernatural,” has expressed interest in making a cameo appearance in Amazon Prime Video’s “The Boys.” Created by Eric Kripke, the same mind behind “Supernatural,” “The Boys” has seen several actors from the Supernatural universe grace its screen, including Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
In a recent interview with Collider, Padalecki disclosed that Kripke had reached out to him about the possibility of appearing in “The Boys.” However, Padalecki humorously revealed that he has one condition for making a cameo: he needs ample time to prepare physically. At 41 years old and a father of three, Padalecki joked that he’s no longer in the shape he was in his twenties and would require significant notice to get into peak physical condition.
Padalecki’s full response to Kripke’s proposition showcases his enthusiasm for the opportunity while also highlighting the practical considerations of his age and responsibilities. He expressed willingness to undergo the necessary preparations, including hiring a nutritionist and trainer, to ensure he meets the physical demands of the role. Despite the comedic tone of his response, Padalecki emphasized his admiration for Kripke and his eagerness to collaborate on the acclaimed series.
“The Boys” has become known for its satirical take on the superhero genre, featuring gritty storytelling and complex characters.

Additionally, actors like Nathan Mitchell, Christian Keyes, and Jim Beaver have transitioned from “Supernatural” to “The Boys,” further cementing the bond between the two series.
With Jeffrey Dean Morgan slated to appear in the upcoming fourth season of “The Boys,” the crossover between the two shows shows no signs of slowing down.
