Supernatural star Jensen Ackles is gearing up for his role on The Boys season 3, and it appears his preparation involves the growth of some pretty impressive hair.
Before filming with Jensen can kick off on the Amazon series, those involved need to self-isolate in light of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
To mark the start of his two-week quarantine, Jensen shared a selfie with fans on Instagram Stories that showed off his surprising hair transformation. “Okay quarantine… Bring it on!” he wrote, unveiling his longer hair and shaggy beard in the process.
Dean Winchester, who?
Jensen’s role in The Boys‘ upcoming season was confirmed last year, where it was announced the actor will play Soldier Boy, the so-called “original superhero” who fought in World War II and became the first super celebrity.
The series’ showrunner Eric Kripke explained how Soldier Boy will enter the story, revealing a link between the new character and Aya Cash’s Stormfront, back when she was known as Liberty.
“There’s a history of Vought that we’re starting to map out because Soldier Boy has been a mainstay of Vought for decades,” Kripke explained.
“He was like John Wayne there, and so as a result, we’re writing the history of Vought and how all the characters weave in together.”
