It took six years of Supernatural being on the air before one of its two main stars finally joined the Twitter world. Today, Jared Padalecki (who plays Sam Winchester on the CW show) confirmed that he's finally gotten himself a Twitter account: @jarpad.
The fangirls are, of course, thrilled.
While Twitter hasn't officially confirmed the account, The CW's Supernatural Twitter account (@CW_Supernatural) confirmed Padalecki's account. He also announced it at this week's Supernatural convention in Nashville. After about 24 hours, Padalecki has managed to gather over 42,000 followers. He was also trending on several Twitter top topics for a while today. Chances are he'll soon be fighting for Twitter supremacy with co-star Misha Collins.
Padalecki isn't the only Supernatural actor to have a Twitter account. Here's a few more:
- Misha Collins (Castiel): @mishacollins
- Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer): @jumblejim
- Samantha Ferris (Ellen Harvell): @samanthajferris
- Sebastian Roche (Balthazar): @sebroche
- Mark Sheppard (Crowley): @mark_sheppard
- Richard Speight, Jr. (The Trickster/Gabriel): @dicksp8jr
- Matt Cohen (Young John Winchester): @mattcohen4real
- Amy Gumenick (Young Mary Winchester): @amygumenick
- Rob Benedict (Chuck): @RobBenedict
That's not a complete list by any means, but it's certainly a few to start! Below is the video where Padalecki confirms his new account. Go follow him! He fights moose in his spare time. Here's some evidence. Now we just have to wait and see if his co-star Jensen Ackles joins next.

Yay! Now I can stalk him properly. XD
Am I the only one who pictured Dean's reaction to the cat in Yellow Fever as Jensen's reaction to Jared's joining of twitter?
Don't forget the other actors @thekatiewalder @mark_pellegrino @serindas (Serinda Swan) @ajohnbuckley @talalona @groovegoddess to name a few more :)
@Sphero That Mark Pellegrino account is fake, he doesn't have a twitter account, just FYI.
I made the (somewhat) mistake of getting Jared's tweets sent directly to my phone…. damn thing nearly exploded with the amount of them, lol. By the end of yesterday everytime my phone went off, I ended up cursing him even if it wasn't him, haha.
Bless him though, he's like a little kid with a new toy at the moment, so cute!
