While filming the third season of 'Reacher', Alan Ritchson accidentally took a punch from his co-star Olivier Richters, the tallest bodybuilder in the world at 7'2". This incident occurred during a fight scene where Ritchson's character, Jack Reacher, faces off against Richters' character, Paulie. Ritchson noted the physicality of Richters, stating he wouldn't want to fight him in real life. Richters trained extensively for the role, impressing Ritchson, who believes viewers will see a unique take on Reacher's character in the upcoming season, based on Lee Child's 'Persuader.'
I took a punch accidentally one time, and I was like, 'I don't think I would want to get in a fight with this guy in real life.'
He trained for like four months before we got to set together and hopefully it shows. He's pretty tough. He's a monster, man.
I was stunned by how Richters made Ritchson look tiny. Richters is the tallest bodybuilder in the world at 7 foot 2 inches.
I think audiences are gonna get to see something they've never seen before, with the adaptation of 'Persuader' showing a different side of Reacher.
