Alan Ritchson has undergone a significant transformation for his upcoming role in the thriller “Motor City.” Known for his muscular physique, Ritchson has adapted his appearance to fit the demands of his new character. This transformation was detailed in a post on his Instagram, where he shared the steps he took to transition from his role in “Reacher” to “Motor City” in just a few days.
In his Instagram post, Ritchson explained how he enlisted the help of fitness expert Thomas DeLauer to rapidly lose weight, hairstylist Sandy Sokolowski for a new look, and cosmetic dentist Gary Archer for a different set of teeth.
He also mentioned Kat Von D’s work on new tattoos specific to his character. This collective effort was aimed at ensuring he could embody the new role convincingly and make the character as authentic as possible.
Ritchson included a series of photos in his post, showcasing his new long hair, altered teeth, and makeup to create facial bruises. This visual evidence highlights the extent of his physical transformation and his commitment to presenting a rugged appearance that suits the demands of his role in “Motor City.”
In his caption, Ritchson emphasized his dedication to making each character as real as possible for the audience. Despite the challenge of not having any downtime between projects, he is determined to achieve a nearly unrecognizable transformation. He expressed a strong desire to avoid playing himself, aiming instead for a deeply immersive portrayal in “Motor City.”
“Motor City” features Ritchson as John Miller, a man from Detroit who seeks vengeance after being framed and imprisoned. He stars alongside Shailene Woodley, Pablo Schreiber, and Ben Foster. While details about the film remain scarce, Ritchson’s involvement suggests it will be a high-intensity, action-packed movie.
