With the rise of superhero films, nearly every leading man in Hollywood has physically transformed themselves at some point in their career. However, 40-year-old Jack Reacher actor is among those who have maintained and improved his physique over the years. Recently the millionaire sat with Rich Eisen for an exclusive interview where he talked about fitness at 40.

Unlike most actors who never fully disclose their transformation process, Alan Ritchson was transparent. While many actors narrate stories about eating boiled food, Ritchson surprised the host with his diet confession. When Rich Eisen seemed surprised, Ritchson mentioned something that “helps” maintain his super-jacked physique. The fitness community lauded him in the comments.

During the interview, host Rich Eisen asked what “a cheat day looks like” for the 40-year-old. However, instead of naming boring dishes like Dwayne Johnson would, Ritchson said, “If your lifestyle is one of health and fitness, every day can become a cheat day.” The Jack Reacher actor’s honest confession surprised the host, who remained skeptical.

However, another surprise awaited the host. The 40-year-old said he works out 30 to 45 minutes each day. Ritchson also revealed he eats whatever he wants in moderation. While the interviewer had a hard time believing, Ritchson pressed on.

“I’ve been doing this for decades,” said the actor. Alan Ritchson also said the night before the interview; he had a “giant sundae” with his agent.

However, since the host kept asking about his diet and seemingly short workout sessions, Ritchson revealed he was on TRT. “I will say Testosterone helps,” he said. Hearing the actor being transparent, the fitness community praised him in the comments.

The fitness community knows when someone is lying

Many pro bodybuilders, actors, and athletes have confessed to using steroids. Educational content creators have also helped the community become knowledgeable about PED usage. Hence, many people can tell when an actor lies about his transformation.

Fans found Ritchson’s transparency refreshing. “Props to this guy for admitting he’s on TRT. Idk why so many actors lie about it,” wrote one fan. “I really appreciate his honesty. Just proves that all of them could be honest about juicing if they wanted to,” wrote another fan. “Roids or not, this guy is a tank anyways,” one user commented.
