“So our Reacher set got in the way of these legends,” he captioned his post, which showed photos and video with the Bidens. “Was a privilege and honor to meet the Biden family. They couldn’t have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present.”
Alan revealed, “We chatted briefly about simple stuff, like string theory and quantum entanglement. Then Joe beat me at arm wrestling. All in a day’s work.”
Per local outlets, the Bidens were just strolling about Rittenhouse Square after grabbing breakfast at a restaurant called Parc, which Reacher was actually filming just outside of.
“It was just something very bizarre that I never could have imagined, both things were happening at the same time,” photographer Hugh E. Dillon told CBS News Philadelphia.
The photographer noted he was watching Reacher film a police chase scene when a black SUV pulled up.
“Out walked these men, that I thought they were actors, but then the entire cast and crew started clapping and cheering. Then someone said, ‘We love you, Joe, we love you!’” he dished. “I thought it was the end of the scene — that they were wrapping for the day. And no, it was, you know, Joe Biden decided he needed some breakfast at Parc Rittenhouse.”
