Alan Ritchson Has A Priceless Message For His Fans
Alan Ritchson who has been vocal about physical and mental health has recently given a priceless message to his fans. The actor took to his Instagram to share the message following an unfortunate incident that occurred next to the set where he was filming (perhaps Reacher season 3). It is an urgent matter of safety, the actor said that someone overdosed and authorities rushed to the scene to observe the individual. Now, Ritchson urged fans to rise above any roadblocks with help.

And it’s worth getting through it. This is really a problem of connection, human connection. So, I, uh, I just wanna encourage you to find somebody to open up to, uh, to, to, cling to. There are people out there that can help you put you through those tough moments… If you are dealing with that kind of thing, we see you, we got you, hang in there.”
The message, shared with a video in the reel format was captioned, “For anyone who’s out there…” Of course, his love and support for fans have again made him a real-life superhero even before putting on any superhero costume.
Alan Ritchson Wants To Play Batman
DC boss James Gunn is most likely to star a new actor in the titular DC role as Batman soon and Ritchson could be the next best candidate for it. The Reacher star recently showed his deepest desire to play the iconic DC hero. “I would like to play Batman,” Ritchson told The Hollywood Reporter.
“There I said it! I’ll shout it from the rooftops. I want to be Bruce Wayne! Here’s the thing about Batman. You know wht his super power is? Intelligence. Dude is the smartest superhero there is. He’s inventive and he’s got all the gadgets but he’s super smart. I want to be that guy and also have a cave with super cars and also motorcycles.”
Ritchson would be a comic-book-accurate version of the character. And if Gunn considers the actor to be the next Caped Crusader, he could be a hit following the legacy of Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, or Robert Pattinson who played the Gotham hero with absolute charisma.
