Ever wondered what it’s like to be Jack Reacher? Alan Ritchson, the man behind the role, spills the beans in a fun and candid Wired interview! From globe-trotting as a military kid to almost missing out on the Reacher role, Alan reveals all the juicy details. He even shares how he met his wife in a ballet class (talk about a meet-cute!) and how he’d totally pay to play Batman—though James Gunn says it’s not happening. Oh, and did you know he auditioned for New Girl in a Trader Joe’s parking lot?

What makes this interview truly shine, though, is just how genuinely nice and down-to-earth Alan is. His humor and sincerity make him even more likeable. Don’t miss it!
