Joe Biden Surprises 'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson on Set, Actor Says Meet-Up Was 'A Privilege and Honor'



Former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter paid a surprise visit Monday morning to the “Reacher” Season 4 set in Philadelphia.

Jack Reacher himself, actor Alan Ritchson, posted Tuesday on Instagram about the Bidens’ visit, calling it a “a privilege and honor to meet the Biden family.” Accompanying videos and photos of him with the Biden men, the “Reacher” star wrote, “So our ‘Reacher’ set got in the way of these legends.” He went on to have nothing but good things to say about the former U.S. president and his son.

“They couldn’t have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present,” Ritchson captioned his Instagram post. “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.”

I still love President Biden.

He left the country better than he found it.

But unfortunately, the jerk was somehow able to come back and is now wrecking the joint all over again.

And with my recent month of string trimming and pole pruning, I'm ready for some arm wrestling, too.

Better hurry over, Joe, before I finish off the ice cream!🍨🍧 🍦🍦🍦🍨🍧

He was smart enough to surround himself with competent and educated aides who loved America enough to serve.

Not like the ones educated/indoctrinated in the school of fauxnews university. What we have today is appalling.
