Tom Selleck has become known for a number of projects over the years. After the end of Blue Bloods a few years back, insiders have weighed in on his life. In particular, some sources, including a figure close to him, have expressed concern over his habits and his overall health. They also shared what they feel could be the root cause of what’s going on.
Tom Selleck Has Brought Many Characters To Life, From Jesse Stone To Commissioner Frank Reagan
As an actor, Selleck rose to fame playing private investigator Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I. from 1980 to 1988. Following this, from 2005 to 2015, he played Jesse Stone in a series of television films based on Robert B. Parker’s character.
For over a decade, Selleck gained further recognition as Commissioner Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Since the series came to an end in 2024, fans have been speculating what the actor’s next project could possibly be, with many speculating a return to the Jesse Stone films.
However, Selleck’s departure from Blue Bloods has appeared to have taken its toll on him. Insiders have recently spoken out about the actor’s health.
According to Radar Online, insiders have explicitly shown concern over the actor’s diet. Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a specialist who has served Selleck in the past, shared, “Three hundred pounds on an 81-year-old man is causing severe damage to every cell in his body. He looks like he’s headed for a heart attack.”
Ultimately, Insiders Expressed Concern That The End Of Blue Bloods Has Had On Selleck
Reportedly, the actor has been described as a “virtual recluse” since his last project. Sources speaking with the outlet claimed that he rarely ventures out beyond getting something to eat. One insider expressed, “He’s in terrible shape right now. You only have to look at him to see that. It’s like he’s hit the self-destruct button and isn’t capable of snapping out of this rut.”
The source continued, “[Selleck] doesn’t want people worrying about him, which is why he goes on these secret eating binges,” another source spilled. “He rarely, if ever, brings the fast-food home with him. He knows it’s wrong and that he needs to be eating healthy, but he can’t help himself.”
The insider noted that Selleck does have the drive and capability to change things. However, this is easier said than done. The source noted, “The irony is he’s trying to get into better shape. He has regular physical therapy and gym appointments that he’s been committed to for a while now. But then he goes and ruins it all by ordering junk food.” In addition, this comes out as the actor has endured a number of health issues over the years, including joint pain, arthritis, and knee issues.
Ultimately, the source expressed that stepping away from acting has been hurting Selleck. They shared, “Tom won’t let this go. It’s totally consumed him ever since the show got cancelled. People around him believe it’s been a huge factor in his overall physical decline. A lot of them worry the show’s ending has ultimately destroyed the poor guy.”
