Alan Ritchson, whose on-screen portrayal of Jack Reacher has become a benchmark of unyielding physical power, almost fell victim to his own carelessness and passion for body art in real life. Ahead of the release of the fourth season of the popular series, the actor shared shocking details from the filming of the previous installment of the franchise. As it turned out, one of the most epic scenes – Reacher’s underwater fight with the giant Pauli – could have been Ritchson’s last, and the culprit was not stunt work, but a fresh tattoo done at the most inconvenient time.
