Hollywood Divides: Actor's Biden Photo Sparks Outrage and Applause

EXCLUSIVE SCOOP!

Alan Ritchson, the hunky star of the hit series Reacher, has just spilled the tea on a surprise visit from none other than former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden! The actor, known for his chiseled good looks and sharp wit, took to Instagram to share photos and clips from the unforgettable encounter.

In a post that left fans both stunned and divided, Alan gushed about the Bidens' charm, calling them "lovely," "kind," and "gracious." But what really got our attention was his hilarious account of Joe Biden beating him at arm wrestling! Who knew the President had some serious strength behind those hands?

According to eyewitnesses, the Bidens stumbled onto the Reacher set while heading to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. Alan was in the middle of filming a police chase scene when the unexpected guests arrived. The actor recalled: "Out walked these men that I thought were actors, but then the entire cast and crew started clapping and cheering... Then someone said, 'We love you, Joe, we love you!'"

It's no surprise that Alan was starstruck by the encounter. After all, he's a self-proclaimed Christian who has spoken out about his faith in several interviews. In fact, just last year, he told The Hollywood Reporter that Trump is "a rapist and a con man" - a statement that sparked heated debate among fans.

But despite his strong political views, Alan seemed genuinely touched by the Bidens' visit. He even went so far as to compare their kind demeanor to that of Jesus Christ himself. Talk about a hero complex!

Of course, not everyone was thrilled with Alan's post. Some fans took issue with his decision to share photos and clips from the encounter, warning him against "politicizing" his platform. Others accused him of being "crooked" for supporting the Bidens while criticizing Trump.

Despite the backlash, many fans rallied around Alan, praising his authenticity and commitment to standing up for what he believes in. As one commenter put it: "I may not agree with your politics, but I love that you're a true Christian who speaks truth to power!"

As for Matt Gaetz, Alan's old adversary from high school days? Well, let's just say the two don't exactly get along. In an interview with GQ magazine, Alan revealed that their feud started way back when they were kids - and it's only gotten more heated over time.

Alan gushed about the Biden in his caption, writing: 'So our Reacher set got in the way of these legends'

So there you have it, folks! The scoop on Alan Ritchson's surprise visit from Joe and Hunter Biden - and the drama that followed. Stay tuned for more juicy updates from the world of Reacher!
