Alan Ritchson opens up about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder five years ago... which even caused a stunt coordinator to briefly leave Reacher


Alan Ritchson is opening up about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder five years ago, when he was 36 years of age.

The actor admitted to 'manic behavior' on the set of Reacher in the first season, which ultimately caused a stunt coordinator to briefly leave the show. Ritchson - who said in December that he lives like a nomad with his wife and their kids - said he would refuse to leave the set for a stuntman to take over, adding, 'I was like, "I’m doing the f***ing stunt."
