Richters is known as the tallest bodybuilder in the world, and his enormous size made even the strong and muscular Ritchson appear small. Lee Child, the author of the Jack Reacher books, was also surprised by the size difference when he saw the actors together. He mentioned that Richters made Ritchson look tiny, something he never expected.
Despite his intimidating appearance, Alan Ritchson worked extremely hard to prepare for the role. Ritchson praised his co-star’s dedication, saying that Richters trained for nearly four months before filming began. His hard work and effort ensured that he could keep up with the physically demanding fight scenes that are a major part of Reacher.

Fans of the books know that in this particular story, Reacher faces one of his toughest battles yet. Ritchson believes that the audience will be thrilled with the adaptation and will witness a fight like never before.
