Jack Reacher star Alan Ritchson has compared his action hero to James Bond, but it’s not necessarily a posit🌼ive comparison. Speaking to recently, he said he had no interest in being considered to play 007, even after his b♔reakthrough as another action legend. 

"It's funny, I kind of feel like Reacher is the American James Bond," he said. "And I've never had more fun playing a character. I love those larger-than-life, over-the-top action thrillers and spy movies and the heists that are smart and ahead of the audie✅nce. That's really great, but I feel like Bond, to me personally – people are going to hate me for saying this 🌼– I love Bond, but I feel like it's all a little misogynistic and predictable at this point."

He then doubled down on his comments, adding how he thinks that Bond is a bit outdated. He added: "Reacher, to me, is like the American B🦋ond, and I think it's a cool way to go about doing it where it's a little less purposefully cool. He's not in on how slick he is. I don't feel like we can have characters these days that are in on the joke."
