As the tweets indicate, most fans agreed with the outcome of the poll, proving that Ackles’ Dean Winchester was a real favorite among the ladies.
Most fans on social media attested to the fact that Dean was likely to steal their heart over their partners if he were real. Therefore, it is evident that the character remains popular despite Supernatural ending after fifteen seasons and Ackles moving on to other projects.
Some fans also expressed a desire to see Ackles’ other popular character Soldier Boy from The Boys appear on the list. However, Solider Boy failed to make it into the top 30. The fourth season of The Boys recently premiered, and Ackles is rumored to be reprising his role in some capacity.
Supernatural is streaming on Netflix while The Boys can be found on Amazon Prime Video.
