Explaining what one does to their children can be challenging, and Jared Padalecki knows it for a fact. While his children know their dad is an actor, the "Gilmore Girls" heartthrob doesn't want to share every project he ever did with them, and for a good reason. "For 15 years, I worked on a show that I didn't really want my kids to watch because I'd have to explain why Daddy was bleeding, and why Daddy was killing Mommy, or why Uncle Jensen [Ackles] killed Mommy," Jared explained when speaking to People.
In the notorious scene he referred to in the interview, Jared's character, Sam Winchester, and his brother Dean, played by Ackles, kill Ruby, a double-agent demon portrayed by Genevieve Padalecki, Jared's real-life spouse. While Ruby does make a comeback in later seasons, young children would most likely have a hard time grasping the concept of acting to that degree, as well as one coming back to life. On top of that, Jared shared that the young trio was starting to experience nightmares, and the demon hunting, mentions of hell, and overall graphic violence of "Supernatural" certainly wouldn't help that.
