Reacher star Alan Ritchson weighs in on the running joke that the action hero never goes to the gym in the Prime Video series: "It’s a little ridiculous"

Alan Ritchson in Reacher season 3.

It's no secret that Alan Ritchson’s Reacher is probably one of the most built-up men on the small screen. But it has become a running joke both in the Reacher books and the Prime Video series that we never see Reacher train or go to the gym once – something that star Ritchson agrees is a little far-fetched.

"It’s a little ridiculous with Reacher, I mean, but it's funny," says Ritchson to GamesRadar+. "You got like this, like, you know, chiseled six-pack abs kind of physique in the books. And it's like, of course he's a unicorn, you know. No, you would never look like Reacher without hours of training."
