It’s the crossover you never expected. Reacher star Alan Ritchson railed against former Florida politician Matt Gaetz in a new GQ interview, where it was revealed the pair attended school together while growing up in Niceville, Florida.

Ritchson did not hold back as he made his contempt for the former Florida state representative known.

“That motherfucker. We are adversaries,” Ritchson said. “It’s shocking to me that the panhandle of Florida continues to vote for somebody—knowing everything we know about him and the promises that he’s made behind closed doors about pardoning certain criminals—he’s just not a good dude!”

Gaetz was recently tapped to become President Donald Trump‘s Attorney General (before the role was ultimately filled by Pam Bondi), despite being accused of engaging in sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl, per Newsweek.

Gaetz stepped down from the House of Representatives after he was tapped for Trump’s cabinet. He tried to block the House Ethics Committee from releasing the report on him before eventually withdrawing himself from consideration for AG, but the full report was later released, revealing Gaetz paid several women — including the minor — for sex, and purchased and used illegal drugs.

Ritchson expressed that politicians like Gaetz sometimes inspired him to pivot to politics himself.

“There’s part of me that wants to get into politics to outdo somebody like him for good, and there’s part of me that’s like, I’m not duplicitous enough to succeed in politics,” he said.

He added, “There are certain people that do a good job of staying true to who they are, but they’re ineffective. I think Bernie Sanders is a hero. But it’s like, what has he accomplished?”

At least for now, it looks like the action star is happy to stay at the helm of Prime Video’s biggest series instead of challenging Gaetz for his seat in the House of Representatives. The actor expressed his interest in staying on the show, which was recently renewed for Season 4 ahead of the Season 3 premiere, for many years to come.

 “I want season 10 to be the best season we’ve ever had,” he told GQ. Reacher Season 3 is streaming now on Prime Video.
