With this last photo Jason uploaded in NOLA, I thought of something. It's funny how whenever there is a panel or any kind of event, or even if they're just in town for a few days, we see photos of Jensen outside with SPN colleagues or friends, hanging out as a group. But with Jared, either Jensen takes him out for a dinner alone (as Jared said he did after the panel this weekend) or he doesn't go out at all. He is always hanging out with Clif and their gun dealer friend Anson Gordon.
I’ve talked about this before, but if you look at Jensen and his friend groups, it’s generally the same people. He does hangout with coworkers, but he’s got some solid friends that he’s had for many many years. Same with Danneel, and almost all their friends are mutual anyway. Like Steve Carlson (left) and Jason Manns(right):
We've always known Jared change friend groups like he changes underwear, but these latest years, It's just so freakin weird that Jared doesn't have any other friend than his bodyguard and his gun dealer. And Clif gets paid to be with him 7/24 and he has been living in Jared's house for 2 years now.
Again, same with Gen, whose "friend" group is her hair-make up artist, photographer, stylist and digital talent manager (Yeah, it's a thing) They both literally pay people to hang out with them. Gen even pays them to make gushing IG posts about her. I think it could be a number of things, but given Jared’s, and of course Gen's, behavior, I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone just gets tired of dealing with them and cuts the ties.
All that said, I would like to congratulate Jensen for his extreme loyalty and patience as a friend that he still takes Jared out to spend time with him and gives him presents.
