Fans Can’t Believe Alan Ritchson’s Shocking Stunt Mishap in Reacher Finale
Gather ’round, dear readers, as we plunge into the chaotic world of Alan Ritchson, who undoubtedly took “going all out” to a whole new level while filming the season 3 finale of “Reacher.” You see, Ritchson, the brawny heartthrob portraying Jack Reacher, decided he could tackle a particularly daunting stunt himself—against the sage advice of his crew. Classic case of “I know better,” right? The actor, a sprightly 42, described the experience as akin to being “slammed through the table so hard” that he briefly found himself knocked out for a day and a half. Yes, you read that correctly. One minute he was ready to entertain, and the next, he was comatose, pondering the existential dread of his choices.
In his own words, Ritchson explained he felt as if he “went through it into the seventh circle of hell.” Charming, isn’t it? All in the name of authenticity, he insisted on performing a stunt that left him ragdolled and gasping for air. The cast and crew warned him profusely; they even went as far as saying, “You’re going to get killed,” but alas, our hero was undeterred. What’s a little injury in the name of cinematic glory?
This high-octane escapade took three weeks to film, culminating in a mere three-second clip. Talk about labor-intensive! And let’s not forget the additional “crazy” water sequence that Ritchson bravely endured, which saw him navigating treacherous waters in the buff—truly a brave choice for any actor, especially one with kids on set.
As fans eagerly await the next installment of the Reacher saga, let’s celebrate Ritchson’s commitment to his craft, which, as we’ve learned, might require a side of caution next time. Lesson learned, or shall we see him tumble into yet another escapade?
Class dismissed. Let’s hope Ritchson’s next endeavor comes with a few more safety nets.
