Alan Ritchson posted a playful Instagram video to address his “haters” days after his violent brawl with a neighbor.
The actor began Thursday’s footage by laughing and asking, “Where all my haters at? All my ‘War Machine’ haters?”
He clapped back at “people that watched that movie” and were “up in the comments, like, ‘He’s too old to be playing a soldier,’ even though that’s part of the story.”
The 43-year-old added, “Well, guess what? The U.S. just raised the enlistment age to what? 42! Yeah! ‘War Machine’ is prophetic now.”
In Ritchson’s caption, he wrote, “What you have to complain about now!? Old people for the win! Perfect movie! 200 on Rotten Tomatoes! A hundred and fifty Oscars! Can’t stop us now!”
The “Reacher” star did not mention his headline-making brawl with Nashville resident Ronnie Taylor, which he cryptically referred to in his previous two posts.
Most recently, Ritchson alluded to his “crazy week” in a Wednesday upload.
He told his followers, “Happy to be back in the booth after such a crazy week! That’s a wrap for me on post-production — #Reacher Season 4. This is, without a doubt the most gripping season yet. I think we hit our stride. Firing on all cylinders… as it were.”
Two days prior, the “Blood Drive” alum shared a Napoleon Bonaparte quote.
It read, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
When asked to comment on his Sunday altercation, Ritchson insisted to the Daily Mail that he couldn’t “answer questions about that” due to an “active investigation.”
Cops have since decided the “Smallville” alum won’t face criminal charges.
Ritchson and Taylor butted heads over the former speeding through the neighborhood on a motorbike two days in a row, revving his engine.
Taylor allegedly pushed the “Titans” alum off the vehicle multiple times — in front of Ritchson’s children — and, in return, was punched repeatedly.
Page Six hears the incident could help Ritchson’s career, with chairman of Reputation Management Consultants Eric Schiffer telling us, “The throwdown feeds the ‘Reacher’ machine because his audience loves fighters and hates cowards.”
