With the new Amazon series Reacher currently streaming, the show’s star Alan Ritchson has lifted the lid on just what it took for him to get into the right shape to play giant drifter Jack Reacher.
But with that brawn comes some serious brains, with 37-year-old Ritchson admitting that’s what ‘excited’ him most about the role.
The star described his preparation as ‘an attack on all fronts’, despite staying in shape usually for his jobs in the superhero genre ., he explained: ‘I try to stay lean, so I’m usually walking around at 205 pounds. For this I wanted to bulk up though, and I ended up putting on 30 pounds to end up at 235 pounds. I was grinding it out five days a week for the eight months that we had to prep.’
However, the actor is generally a lone wolf in the gym, although he has trainers he calls on when he needs help with ‘a plateau’.
