Supernatural star Jared Padalecki had fans worried and concerned when he cancelled two appearances after making cryptic tweets asking for their support.
On Friday, Padalecki made a post on his Twitter account telling fans, “Dear #JIBCON and #AHBL6. I am in desperate and urgent need of my family. I am so sorry to tell you this but I must head home.”
The actor, who has suffered from depression, also tweeted asking his followers to write to him and used the hashtag #AlwaysKeepFighting. Fans immediately responded with messages of love and support to him on social media accounts.
Padalecki recently teamed up with nonprofit organization To Write Love On Her Arms in a t-shirt campaign that includes his photo on a t-shirt with the words “Always Keep Fighting.” His co-star and on-screen brother Jensen Ackles tweeted his support to his close friend.
In an interview with Variety, Padalecki opened up about battling his own depression, describing an on-set incident when he broke down in his trailer.
