Joe Biden accidentally crashes “Reacher” set in Philadelphia, meets star Alan Ritchson: 'All in a day's work' [barf alert]

Jack Reacher linked up with a former U.S. president in the City of Brotherly Love.

Joe Biden accidentally crashed the set of Reacher on his way to breakfast Monday in Philadelphia, inadvertently strolling onto the premises as crew members filmed a police chase scene for the fourth season of the Prime Video thriller.

A bystander told CBS Philadelphia he was watching the crew shoot the scene when black SUVs pulled up. "Out walked these men that I thought were actors, but then the entire cast and crew started clapping and cheering," the bystander said. "Then someone said, 'We love you, Joe. We love you!'"

Biden dined at Parc, a bistro on 18th Street, with wife Jill and son Hunter. The bystander recounted the former POTUS waving to the crowd, shaking hands with the cast and crew, and posing for selfies with residents after he finished his meal.

A representative for the 45th president confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the meetup was not planned.

Reacher leading man Alan Ritchson also met the Bidens, as documented in an Instagram post shared early Tuesday. "So our Reacher set got in the way of these legends," Ritchson wrote alongside a carousel of clips and photos, calling it "a privilege and honor to meet the Biden family."

"They couldn't have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present," he said. "We chatted briefly about simple stuff, like string theory and quantum entanglement. Then Joe beat me at arm wrestling. All in a day's work."

Maybe that’s why the most recent season of Reacher was so bad.

Love the books watched first two seasons. Hoping season three was watched by 50% less.

I really liked the first season. The last one was “ok”, but that’s about it.

Watching a muscle bound meat head act like he is a tough guy gets boring after an episode or two. I’ve seen wiry cowboys beat steroid monsters into crying submission…..

Maybe Ritchson should play a WOKKEE in the Disney Star Wars franchise.
Canadians, doing the jobs American actors got screwed out of.

I hear in the next season he transitions to Jane Reacher and attacks men trying to stop trannies from using the women’s bathroom.

Wretcher is lame - terrible script, weak story lines, and terrible acting. I don’t get the appeal at all.

“ I really liked the first season. The last one was “ok”, but that’s about it.”

I liked the first season too. The writing in season 3 was not good. Stereotypical characters with zero character development. Totally predictable thin plot. The acting has never been that good but it was it was really noticeable here because the dialogue gave them nothing to work with. Richter is very stiff and wooden in his moment with no athletic grace. Moves more like a local gym bodybuilder than a trained fighter.

Agreed. First season was the best.

. “Then someone said, ‘We love you, Joe. We love you!’”

Now ya know why I stopped watching that show after catching a few of the second season: I detected watching the show that this is the kind of asshole that is making the show.
