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.

The FCC later approved the merger and Paramount paid $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump, which critics said amounted to a payoff to secure the merger's approval.
