2019 was quite a memorable one for the ‘Supernatural’ actor Jared Padalecki owing to the issues he got himself embroiled in. However, it seems like it is all long-forgotten by his fans who are making him trend on Twitter to celebrate his birthday on July 18, using #HappyBirthdayJaredPadalecki.

In September 2019, Padalecki was arrested from a nightclub in Texas, which he’s a regular at. He was taken into custody by two cops from outside of lounge Stereotype and according to TMZ, he faced two counts of assault and one of public intoxication. In the footage that went viral, Padalecki was seen fighting a man by the sidewalk when he tried to calm the actor down. The report also suggests that he took a swing at the general manager and allegedly hit two employees of the nightclub when they intervened and the cops had to restrain him later. 

In November, the actor broke his silence about the arrest for the first time when he tweeted, "I want to sincerely thank my family and friends for all of your love and support. So sad to miss the #SPNFamily at #dccon but I hope to see y’all soon."

The ‘Gilmore Girls’ actor turns 38 today and his fans have taken to Twitter to shower him with love and wishes. One excited fan wished him tweeting, "Today is my hero's birthday. The kindest, sweetest, & the most beautiful man in the world, inside&out @jarpad Happy Birthday, I wish u a day as beautiful as your big heart. You're a wonderful human being. I love u so much." While another added, “Happy birthday, @jarpad. I hope we will be able to give you 1% of the love, strength and support you give us everyday. Thank you for Sam, thank you for your kindness, your big heart and beautiful hair. And thank you for being our friend.”

Meanwhile, a few fans have used the opportunity to thank him for entertaining them with his characters that have offered life lessons. "Thank you for getting me into such an amazing show. Thank you for always fighting even when things got hard. Thank you for making me love such an elaborate and downhearted character. You're a precious person and role model," read a tweet.
