Alan Ritchson Sorry,he's taken!

HE’S THE HOTTEST NEW STAR OF THE SMALL SCREEN LEADING THE PERFECT FAMILY LIFE

- Naomi Toy

With his chiselled face – not to mention those enormous biceps – on billboards throughout major cities around the world, Alan Ritchson is going to be, well, big. Very big.

Taking on the role of action hero Jack Reacher for a new TV series has catapulted the 37-year-old actor into another stratosphere of fame and put his private life in the spotlight.

His growing fan base includes British author Lee Child who created the ex-military police officer for the popular fiction books, which have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide! But his biggest supporter remains his wife of 15 years, Catherine, who he has actively tried to shield from a “public life she never asked for’’.

Ritchson’s star has slowly grown since he first came to attention as Aquaman in Smallville, and Catherine, whom he married in 2006, has been a constant support behind the scenes. Fresh from the red carpet premiere of Reacher, she shared her pride on Instagram at how her husband “put his all’’ into making the show.
