Alan Ritchson opens up about challenging Reacher Water scene in Season 3

The 42-year-old actor, known for his rugged physique and action-packed performances, stripped down for a midnight escape scene that had viewers mesmerized. However, Ritchson recently revealed to Entertainment Weekly that filming the scene was far less glamorous than it appeared on-screen.
A Tough Night in the Water
“It was tough,” Ritchson admitted with a laugh. “That water work was pretty tricky, and stripping down and crawling across those cold, wet rocks naked was not the funnest for me and for just about anybody watching — but we did it because we love the show.”
While fans marveled at his chiseled abs and drenched physique, the actor endured the freezing water and rough terrain to deliver an authentic and thrilling moment.
