Former President Joe Biden and his family were heading to dinner when they happened upon the cast and crew of Reacher filming in Philadelphia—and star Alan Ritchson said they "couldn't have been more lovely."

What do you do when you're the former President and you stumble upon a real-live Hollywood film set? Why, fan boy just like the rest of us, of course!

President Joe Biden and his family were heading to dinner on a recent night in Philadelphia when they happened upon the set of the Amazon Prime show Reacher. In fact, he drove right up to the set itself, seemingly without even realizing it.


A bystander told Philly's local CBS affiliate that he was watching the filming when a bunch of black SUVs suddenly pulled up.

The bystander said:

"Out walked these men that I thought were actors, but then the entire cast and crew started clapping and cheering."

When he heard people saying, "We love you, Joe," he realized what was happening: The former President had just pulled up.

Reacher star Alan Ritchson shared the encounter on his Instagram account, including the moment he got to shake the former POTUS's hand.

In his caption, Ritchson wrote:

"So our Reacher set got in the way of these legends."

The set was located near Parc, a bistro where Biden, former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, and son Hunter Biden were dining.

Ritchson went on to call it a "privilege and honor" to meet the former First Family.

"They couldn’t have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present."

He then joked about Biden beating him at arm wrestling, quite a feat given Ritchson's jacked physique.

The Biden family outing comes just a month after the news of his diagnosis with prostate cancer. But the former President looked in good form and was all smiles in the photos Ritchson shared.

Ritchson has been outspoken about his left-wing political beliefs in recent years, statements which have left many of Reacher's MAGA-loving fans outraged. And, of course, his meeting with Biden was no exception.

But Reacher and Biden fans alike had a good time roasting the triggered MAGA types in the comments, regardless.


Though people had plenty of positive things to say about both men, too.


Reacher is based on the best-selling Jack Reacher book series by author Lee Childs. Its fourth season, which is currently in production, does not yet have a release date.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
