Tom Selleck fans spot detail that may explain why unrecognizable Blue Bloods star looked rough in first public appearance since show was brutally axed
As I delve into the life of Tom Selleck, a man whose career spans over four decades and multiple iconic roles, I can’t help but be in awe of his resilience and adaptability. From Magnum P.I. to Blue Bloods, he has managed to captivate audiences with his charm and charisma.
Fans of Tom Selleck might have found an explanation as to why the renowned actor appeared less than his best at his recent public outing, following the termination of his popular show, Blue Bloods.
After causing worry earlier this month when he was spotted leaving a gym in Thousand Oaks, attentive fans of the 79-year-old actor started wondering if he might have recently had a surgical procedure due to noticeable long, straight scars on both of his knees.
The noticeable knee scar tissue, visible from the video acquired by In Touch Weekly, could account for him seeming to struggle with walking back to his car.
We’ve attempted to contact the representatives of the former Magnum, P.I. star, but they haven’t responded yet.
In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’ve observed that Selleck hasn’t openly discussed any experiences with a specific orthopedic procedure known as a bilateral knee replacement, which essentially refers to a double knee replacement surgery. This procedure is carried out when both knees need attention, but it seems Selleck has chosen not to share details about his personal health journey in this regard.
Over the past summer, it was reported by RadarOnline that he was dealing with a hidden health predicament, allegedly requiring him to work with a stand-in on the set of Blue Bloods. However, his representative refuted this claim.
Contrary to the report suggesting that Selleck was experiencing severe discomfort and was undergoing medical guidance to manage it, his representative emphasized that he remains in excellent health and full of energy.
In January 2023, Selleck’s representative refuted The Daily Star’s claim that the artist was struggling with severe arthritis.
In response to the article, Selleck’s rep stated that their client was in ‘excellent health.’
According to reports, Selleck returned to his California ranch with his wife Jillie following a 14-year commute between California and the East Coast for filming purposes. The series, which came to an abrupt end due to the decision by CBS executives at the close of last year.
Selleck openly expressed his displeasure when he learned that Blue Bloods was wrapping up production, and following the announcement made by showrunners last year, he expressed hope that they might reconsider their decision.
Despite completing filming for the series, viewers can anticipate seeing the actor during the show’s 14th and last season finale in October.
Though I’d jump for joy at the thought of Tom having extra hours to pump iron out west, as a die-hard fan, I can’t help but reflect on his words from January when he confessed to having found solace in his bustling routine, expressing that he had grown to cherish it.


He mentioned to TV Insider that sometimes the work can be a bit more challenging due to his advanced age, but he doesn’t care about that. What he wants is to keep working as long as they allow him to do so.
Previously recognized for his roles as Magnum P.I. and a guest appearance on Friends, Selleck gained numerous followers with his portrayal of Frank Reagan, a fictional police commissioner in the series Blue Bloods, set in New York City.
Since September 2010, he has shared screen time with Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, and Will Estes. When the show got canceled, he predicted that fans would express their anger over the decision.
‘CBS will find an awful lot of people aren’t ready to say goodbye to it,’ he said at the time.
1. “The show is more successful now than it has ever been before, and I believe that the curiosity surrounding it this year will lead to even greater viewership numbers. Rest assured, we still have plenty of creative ideas left.”

After completing the filming, it’s been reported that Tom will take some leisure time at his shared 65-acre California ranch with his wife, Jillie Mack (age 66).
According to the source, he prefers unwinding at his ranch, exploring his land, spending quality time with his spouse and kin, and embarking on small journeys. This information was shared with Closer magazine in January.
Tom and Jillie have the freedom to relax at home, prepare meals together, take lengthy strolls, and find immense joy in their company. He deeply cherishes Jillie and places faith in her ability to organize leisure activities or travel arrangements.
‘He’s looking forward to having more free time to spend with her.’
It turned out in May that the aftermath of Blue Bloods ending might cause Tom to lose his golden years enjoying life on the ranch.
Regardless of his long-standing career in Hollywood and earning an estimated $200,000 per episode from Blue Bloods, he revealed to CBS Sunday Morning that he faced difficulty paying his bills following the show’s cancellation.


Selleck expressed his hope that he can continue working enough to maintain his current position. When asked if not working would still secure his position, Selleck replied, “Yes, seriously, that’s an issue.”
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I often ponder the question of work-life balance, and it’s a topic that never ceases to intrigue me. If I were to retire today, yes, I could comfortably live out my days without financial worry. However, the thought of not tending to my 63-acre ranch just doesn’t sit well with me!
According to the source, as Tom approaches retirement, his affection for both his wife and their equestrian-talented daughter Hannah, aged 35, has grown even stronger.
According to the source, Tom is extremely fond of Hannah and takes great pride in her successful equestrian competition journey.
‘He hopes Hannah finds love and has children, but he’s not the type of dad to push it.’
