Alan Ritchson’s Hilarious ‘Reacher Smoothie’ Revealed: You Won’t Believe What’s Inside!

by

Over its initial three series, and with a Neagley spinoff under production, alongside a guaranteed fourth season, Amazon Prime Video’s “Reacher” has garnered the affection of millions worldwide who eagerly anticipate more of Alan Ritchson’s portrayal of the tough-as-nails protagonist. This is advantageous since the actor dedicates considerable effort to preserving his muscular physique, despite the character on screen never being shown working out or weightlifting.

During a chat with Johnny Berchtold from Season 3 of ‘Reacher’, I playfully inquired if Alan Ritchson was always doing push-ups during breaks on set to maintain his muscular physique. While it seems he might have done that, Berchtold shared an interesting aspect about Ritchson’s diet routine that he not only observed but also experimented with: the ‘Reacher’ smoothie. Here’s how he described it:

Indeed, as you’re well aware, my response won’t surprise you… Yes, he does seem to vanish only to reappear at a gym close by. He needs to keep his physique in check, after all. So, essentially, he’s always being given beef stroganoff-like meals. At one instance, they brought him the Reacher shake. I inquired about its contents, to which he replied with an offer for me to try some. Naturally, I accepted and was served a red solo cup filled with the Reacher concoction.

If you had told my younger self that television actors earn good money and often eat beef stroganoff as part of their job, I might have relocated to Hollywood right away. However, let’s focus on the present situation instead.

It’s clear from the change in Johnny Berchtold’s description, from “smoothie” to “sludge,” that this small experiment didn’t turn out so well for him. He further elaborated on his experience.

As a movie enthusiast, I took a couple of sips from my drink, only to glance over and see him gulping down the entire contents at once. Swallowing it whole seemed almost effortless for him. I couldn’t help but think, ‘I wonder if I possess the required fortitude to embody Reacher.’ Still, his performance was nothing short of awe-inspiring. It was laugh-out-loud funny. During breaks, they’d bring food over to him. Watching this scene unfold had me in stitches.

If anyone out there doubts that Berchtold was sharing this tale with an expression on his face that made a Reacher smoothie appear tempting, let me clarify. He didn’t seem particularly keen on recollecting the enigmatic drink. Whatever measures are necessary to ensure that Reacher Season 4 materializes without its leading man showing up looking like a 98-lb. undernourished individual, I’m game for it.

During the filming of a sparring scene outside the Becks’ house, Johnny Berchtold discovered firsthand how he might fare in a genuine fight with his on-screen partner Alan Ritchson. In this instance, Berchtold landed a genuine punch on Ritchson’s chest, but the veteran from “Titans” didn’t react, while Berchtold took a step back. It seems that Ritchson’s chest is now approximately 75% coated with smoothie-like steel.
