Alan Ritchson Debuts Unrecognizable Look in Motor City Ahead of TIFF Premiere

Alan Ritchson, known for his role as Jack Reacher, has undergone a dramatic physical transformation for his new movie Motor City, surprising fans with his long hair, full beard, and rugged, disheveled look. The film, set in 1970s Detroit, follows Ritchson's character John Miller, a man released from prison who seeks brutal vengeance against those who framed him, featuring stylized action sequences and minimal dialogue. This bold change has sparked varied reactions, with some fans comparing Ritchson's appearance to Jack Black and others seeing Jason Momoa vibes. Motor City, directed by Potsy Ponciroli and written by Chad St. John, boasts a strong supporting cast including Shailene Woodley, Ben Foster, Zoë Kravitz, and Pablo Schreiber. The movie is highly anticipated, premiering at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival and the 50th Toronto International Film Festival in 2025. Ritchson's shift represents a departure from his previous clean-cut spy persona, showcasing his versatility and commitment to deeper and different roles.
