Jared Padalecki: From 'Gilmore Girls' guy to 'Supernatural' hunter
Twitter

In honor of "Supernatural" hottie Jared Padalecki's 28th birthday today, we thought we'd pause for a moment to take a stroll down memory lane. Ten years ago, Padalecki was cast in "Gilmore Girls" as Dean Forester, the cute guy who makes Rory (Alexis Bledel) question her decision to ditch public school and attend her expensive private school in Hartford.
Misty water-colored memories, we know. But he was just so darn cute! Today, he's better known as Sam Winchester on "Supernatural," and "cute" isn't exactly the word we'd use to describe him. Let's just say he's been working out a bit.
If you're in the mood to celebrate Padalecki's birthday today, we know he'd appreciate a donation to A Dog's Life Rescue, his favorite charity. A Dog's Life is an animal rescue organization in Los Angeles that helps abandoned pets find good homes. Padalecki has been working with the organization for years.
Who could say no to Dean Forester and puppies?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! And might I add.... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I'd love to hear what Dean Winchester would say to this article.
LOVE him
Great video!! I love Jared Padalecki. If there had been a "Jared" at my high school, I would have followed him around all day..*lol* Seriously, Gilmore Girls is what got me watching Supernatural. I was sooo distraught when Dean and Rory broke up (for good). Where was I gonna get my Jared fix? So, I tuned in to the Sam and Dean story and fell in love with it.
Happy birthday Jared Padalecki ! May all the happinnes in the world for you forever.

Is it just me, or have this guy transformed from a boy into a man in the last few seasons? Standing next to Bobby and Dean in the last ep, I was surprised by how seriously manly he looked. And scrumptious
