The little bits about this I’ve seen on my dash suggest that A: they put him on that list without him applying and B: apparently they went to his house to ask or something??
Which leads me, based on these sketchy facts and a completely casual character study of Jensen based on like a handful of gifsets and some inaudible con vidoes to conclude C: this scenario:
*knock knock*
*Jensen opens the door a crack* “What?”
“Hi will you be Christian Grey?”
“Uhh. Jensen isn’t home right now.”
“Do you know when he will be back?”
“I think they’re shooting the next 10 seasons of Supernatural in Antarctica and he’s moving out there to stay in character.”
“Can I leave a message?”
*Jensen closes the door*
