Actor Jensen Ackles shares his spooky experiences of playing a spirit-slaying Supernatural brother

Supernatural’s one of the spookiest shows on TV, with a fresh demon or murderous monster appearing each week, but after a lifetime of watching Horror films star Jensen Ackles thought he was immune to being spooked. That was until the show filmed an episode in a disused asylum…

“That episode, Asylum, was actually filmed in an abandoned mental institute and it was so spooky the art department didn’t have to do anything to it,” he says, “It was a huge five-storer building, completely deserted and not used. We were filming on the third floor and when they called ‘lunch’ the whole crew started walking towards the stairwell, so I took a shortcut down the back stairs. So I went down it was just completely dark, and there was this long, long hallway with little light at the end of it, it was really freaky. I walked a little faster, and then I was running past all these rooms. So that was a little freaky. It made all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.”

Even after a jet-lagged night hoofing lager in a British pub Supernatural’s ghost busting brothers Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles incite out horniness. Alone in a London hotel room axm ask the Texan pair to bump us in the night like gay “spirit people”. For some reason they refuse.

Young US stars par-excellence, Jared, 24, and Jensen, 28, breeze into our plush room the very definition of nonchalant lust appeal. Even more gallingly, they’re blissfully unaware of just how hot they are. It’s hard to think about anything other than sex, so we barely bother.

You two came second in an internet poll of sexiest fellas on Tv, just behind Patrick Dempsey form Grey’s Anatomy…

Jared: You mean we were beaten by Dr. Mcdreamy?

Jensen: Hey, it’s flattering to come behind him.

There’s a joke there… Anyway, do you get hit on by many gay fans?

Jensen: That hasn’t happened to me, at least not that I’m aware of.

Jared: That happens in Los Angeles, but it’s not like they come up to me and say: “I’m gay, do me!” It’s more like: “I really like the show and my boyfriend likes it too”. I had one guy come up to me and say: “Can I have your autograph? My boyfriend is gonna be so jealous.” They don’t proposition me, but then I don’t get proportion but girls either.

As ghost buster Dean Winchester on the WB hit Supernatural, Jensen Ackles can sniff out evil in a heartbeat. But in real life, he’s got a nose for what’s sexy: “I love the smell of shampoo on a girl’s hair,” says the former Days of Our Lives actor, 27. Ackles, a Texas native and one of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Men of 2005, filled us in about what else makes him weak in the knees.

What’s your type?
Me and my buddies say, “Someone who gets it.” Gets sarcasm, gets high-brow humor. Ultimately, someone who you can pal around with and also be intimate with. Someone who can laugh at your jokes – it may sound cheesy, but someone who can be your best friend as well as your lover.

What’s the sexiest thing a woman can wear?
I’m into a casual-dressing girl: blue jeans and a tank top is super sexy. But the sexiest thing on a girl – when I see it I’m like, oh my God – is these little tight boxers. Don’t get me wrong – g-strings are fine – but those cover a little, to where it’s just enough.

Do you and costar Jared Padalecki ever go out carousing?
I do my best to corrupt the little guy, but sometimes I’ve got to respect his relationship (with actress Sandra McCoy).

How about the fan love? Any wild moments?
Sometimes if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time and you walk out of a bar and a guy’s girlfriend recognizes you and the guy doesn’t like it too much and starts hollering at you – that can get tricky. That happened to Jared and me a couple of months ago.

What’s your hidden talent?
I have a buddy of mine who’s a musician and I play guitar and sing quite a bit with him.

What’s the best present you’ve ever given a woman?
I would say it was a black pearl ring that I designed for her. The pearl I picked up in Tahiti at a market and fished through a bowl full of these pearls until I found my favorite one. The worst gift that I ever gave a girl was a suitcase for Christmas. As in, “I can’t think of anything to give you, but here’s a new suitcase.” Afterward, I was like, “What were you thinking, idiot?”
