In conjunction its Jensen Ackles episode's release, the Inside of You podcast posted a 40-second summary of Ackles outlining his issues with Jessica Alba on the set of "Dark Angel" to Tik Tok. The clip was liked more than 80 thousand times. In it, podcast host Michael Rosenbaum asks Ackles if Alba was "cool to work with." He responds, "No. She was horrible," explaining that one day Alba described him, in front of the show's crew, as a "pretty boy that the network brought in for some more window dressing." Ackles retorted, "Looks like we're getting b**** Alba today," which he claims the crew "loved."
Later on in his podcast appearance and not featured in the widely-viewed Tik Tok, Ackles explained that he and Alba supported one another in spite of this and other spats, which he claimed built mutual respect.
"I love Jess, which I know kind of contradicts what I just said," Ackles added. "She was under an immense amount of pressure on that show. She was young, she was in a relationship, and that was rocky and causing some undue stress." Their bond was strong enough, in fact, that Alba notably comforted Ackles on-set one day after he found out about the death of his grandfather. So, while Alba may have been "horrible" to work with, she and Ackles seem to have become friends with each other regardless.
