'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Praises Owen Wilson After Filming New Movie ‘Runner'
Alan Ritchson has been a busy man recently, and fans of the Reacher star are likely to see more and more of him in the near future. While Ritchson has created a fan-favorite television show in Reacher, his character is also beloved by the fanbase. Not surprisingly, that sentiment also appears to stand true for multiple directors and film studios. Ritchson recently wrapped up the movie War Machine on Netflix, and is set for a leading role alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the comedy The Man with the Bag. However, the current project Ritchson is finishing filming, Runner, has generated some early buzz, as he's co-starring in the film alongside Owen Wilson. Ritchson took to Instagram earlier this week as filming was winding down on the movie and praised the cast, director Scott Waugh and numerous others. But the 42-year-old actor's comments about Wilson truly jumped off the page. After calling some of the performances in Runner "among the best I've been a part of," Ritchson heaped praise on his co-star. "Owen Wilson is one of the most talented men I've worked with," Ritchson wrote. "Super brilliant mind and loveliest guy in the world. Insane ability to cut right to the heart and soul of a scene or piece of text." The exceptionally high praise from Ritchson for Wilson brought plenty of love from fans on social media. "Great! Looking forward to see you and Owen on screen!" wrote one fan. "Please don't change. Your fame is going into orbit." said another. "With Owen Wilson! One of the best," replied another fan. "Owen Wilson never gets enough credit for his talent. His performance in No Escape was excellent and riveting. I can't wait to watch Runner." read one comment. "So glad you said that about Owen. I've always loved him," responded another fan. Runner follows a high-end courier named Hank Malone (Ritchson) who's tasked with transporting an organ to save a seven-year-old girl in need of an immediate transplant. Malone has three hours to transport the organ, but things take a turn when the leader of a crime syndicate attempts to take it. Ritchson's character is then also tasked with transporting and protecting Ben Bishop (Wilson), the medical courier handling the organ, as Deadline detailed.

World's richest actor is a 77-yr-old with no film in years but $1.49B wealth; beat Tom Cruise, Shah Rukh, Dwayne Johnson
A new list of the world's wealthiest actors was released by Esquire Magazine earlier this year. The list, which ranks acting superstars based on their current net worth, throws up quite a few surprises and also omits a few names that rival publication Forbes includes. But perhaps the biggest surprise is right up top - as a 77-year-old who has seen no new release in 6 years has topped the list. (Also read: World's richest actress has $8-billion wealth but no hit films; richer than Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Rihanna combined) According to Esquire, action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger is the richest actor in the world with a massive net worth of $1.49 billion. Since first becoming a billionaire in January, Arnold has increased his holdings significantly. To many, Arnold sitting at the top, way ahead of reigning superstars like Dwayne Johnson, Tom Cruise, and Shah Rukh Khan, may be surprising. More so because Arnold's last theatrical release was Terminator: Dark Fate back in 2019. The star has not been seen in a film in six years, but will mark his big-screen comeback with two projects this year - Kung Fury 2 and The Man with the Bag. Esquire notes that Arnold's rise to billionaire status has been on the back of his smart investments. "He gained entry into the three comma club primarily by pouring his earnings into real estate, from his earliest days as an actor. As a result, he now owns a vast real estate empire along with a 5% stake in one of the world's biggest investment firms," says his citation in the report. (Also read: World's richest actress has $8-billion wealth but no hit films; richer than Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Rihanna combined) In the second spot on Esquire's list is Dwayne Johnson. The wrestler-turned-actor has a net worth of $1.19 billion, largely due to his stake in the $2-billion Teremana Tequila. Tom Cruise comes in the third spot with a net worth of $891 million, followed by Asia's richest actor, Shah Rukh Khan, who rounds off the top 4 with a net worth of $876 million, according to Esquire. The others in the top 10 include George Clooney, Robert de Niro, Brad Pitt, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, and Jackie Chan. Esquire's list also excludes people not known primarily for acting. So names like Tyler Perry (studio executive and also an actor) and Jerry Seinfeld (stand-up comic) do not feature here, even though they have both acted in multiple films and are both billionaires.
