Jensen Ackles Shares Excitement as Daughter Justice, 12, Looks Forward to Watching Him in New Show “Countdown”

In a heartwarming exclusive interview, Jensen Ackles, best known for his role in “Supernatural,” revealed that his daughter Justice Jay, aged 12, is eagerly anticipating seeing him in action on his latest TV show “Countdown.” The seasoned actor, who plays a lead role in the crime drama, shared his excitement during the Season 1 premiere of the show in West Hollywood recently. Ackles, 47, along with his wife Danneel Harris Ackles, 46, is a proud parent of three children, including Justice, as well as fraternal twins Zeppelin Bram and Arrow Rhodes, both 8 years old.

Ackles expressed his delight at the prospect of his eldest daughter witnessing him on screen, saying, “I do think my oldest is old enough to watch this, so she’s fired up to see it.” The actor acknowledged that his children have not had many opportunities to watch his work until now, stating, “There’s not a lot that they can watch yet. She [Justice] hasn’t really gotten to see her dad in action. And in this one, I’ll be in action.”

Despite not being able to view their father’s projects, Ackles assured that his children are aware of his work. “But they know. Trust me. They know,” he emphasised. Justice recently made her debut red carpet appearance alongside her father at the premiere of Disney+ movie “Zombies 3.” Ackles proudly shared a photo of the memorable moment on Instagram, captioning it with a sweet message about their father-daughter date night.

The journey of Ackles and Danneel began on the set of the romantic comedy “Ten Inch Hero” in 2006, leading to their marriage in 2010. Three years later, they welcomed Justice into the world, followed by the arrival of their twins. The family now resides near Ackles’ hometown in Austin, Texas, where they enjoy a fulfilling life together. The couple’s bond has been evident on various occasions, both on and off the screen, showcasing their strong relationship and shared experiences.

Fans of Ackles, who was once named the “Sexiest TV Star” by PEOPLE readers, have his daughter to thank for his presence on Instagram. In a light-hearted tweet in 2015, Ackles mentioned, “In an effort 2 squash some posers, my daughter is helping me start an Instagram. Chk it out. Hint: it’s just my name.” This marked the beginning of Ackles’ social media journey, offering glimpses into his personal life and family moments.

As Countdown prepares to debut on Prime Video on June 25, audiences can anticipate witnessing Ackles’ captivating performance in the crime drama. The actor’s portrayal and on-screen presence are sure to captivate viewers, with his daughter’s support adding an extra touch of significance to the experience.
