Hey all!

Just came across this article about Men's Fitness Magazine and they've picked Jared as one of the 25 Fittest Men in America!

This is the fifth anniversary of the Men’s Fitness list and the mag’s editor Roy Johnson told RadarOnline.com exclusively: “To put it very simply, these guys live life. They pursue excellence in their careers, and succeed by being smart, fit and passionate about their pursuits. The actors don’t just get fit for a film project. The athletes don’t just get fit for a season. Every guy on the MF 25 does what it takes to win; they represent the best among men.”

Here's Jared's little blurb:

• Jared Padalecki, 27, USA (actor)
To prep for his latest role, Padalecki underwent a regimen of kickboxing and jiu-jitsu. The Texas native also shoots 90 hours a week but spends downtime inside an on-set workout trailer.


I wonder if in the actual printed magazine there'll be a picture of Jared. Guess I'll have to make a trip to the bookstore!

ETA: Thanks to my lovely friend [livejournal.com profile] dairwendan, here's what it says at Men's Fitness website about Jared (the pic they have of him at the site is him in the towel from Hell House *g*):

JARED PADALECKI
THE FEARMONGER

Age: 27
Country: U.S.A.
Career: Actor

He exhibits Supernatural strength — on-screen and off. To prep for his role as reluctant hero Sam Winchester, Padalecki underwent a regimen of kickboxing and jiu-jitsu. "What's funny is [co-star] Jensen [Ackles] and I were meeting one of our producers at a bar in Vancouver, when we were jumped by eight drunken guys," he remembers. "I broke my left hand, but they walked away with broken jaws and noses. Considering it was us against eight, we did all right." The Texas native shoots 90 hours a week but spends downtime inside a well-stocked, on-set workout trailer. "It's a simple setup, but I believe in the basics, anyway," he declares. Padalecki also made sure he was at peak fitness for the recent Friday the 13th. "There's nothing worse than watching some 120-pound dude killing the bad guy," he says. "I wouldn't want to see some skinny pretty boy facing off against Jason. You want to make it look believable."

Go check this out! MF Top 25
The pic they have is Jared in a towel from "Hell House". He is The Fearmonger! That cracks me up!

And, of course, he gets in a mention of Jensen!

Oh, thanks for the link, sweetie! LOVE that pic. God, I'll never forget watching Hell House for the first time and that scene came on. I was like DAMN, you've been hiding that under your hoodie this entire time?? LOL!

And "The Fearmonger" - ROTFL!!

And, of course, he gets in a mention of Jensen!

Of course he did! ;-)

Mmmmm.....Hell House...yes that one was all about the 'plot' *vbg* He's a smart guy - figured out how to maintain insane levels of food/candy intake and still look hot; good on him - clearly he has the discipline. I've heard that story about the bar fight a number of times....I'm wondering - do you know of anyone who has written fic about it? I'd be interested to read it!

Sorry for the late reply!

Oh yeah, definitely. Wait, let me rewind that part where Sam comes out of the bathroom again. Over and over and over... ;-)

He's a smart guy - figured out how to maintain insane levels of food/candy intake and still look hot;

Man, how does he do it?? There are a lot of young TV stars who'd kill for his secret!

Oh gosh, I know I've read at least a couple, but of course the names escape me! Nothing recent, though. It's probably been a year or so since I read one. Hmm...I may have to write my own now!
