Tom Selleck, the beloved face behind NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in the hit series Blue Bloods, recently caught the paparazzi’s attention sporting a rugged new look. At 78 years old, this heartthrob has let his classic bushy mustache blossom into a full-fledged beard. The seasoned actor was almost incognito as he ran errands in the San Fernando Valley on September 25, hardly recognizable with his newfound facial fuzz. Interestingly, the Valley holds a special place in Selleck’s heart as the place where he once attended high school.
Beyond the glitz and glam of the entertainment industry, Selleck and his wife, Jillie, lead a quieter life on their ranch nestled in Ventura County. This idyllic haven was once an avocado paradise, but unfortunately, it suffered during the harsh drought, leading to the demise of 20,000 cherished trees that had been carefully nurtured over two decades. However, Selleck humorously confessed, “I never ate avocados anyway.” Although he did recall a peculiar incident when talk show host David Letterman coerced him into trying one, nearly triggering a gag reflex. Nevertheless, Selleck acknowledged their health benefits.
Despite his commitment to filming in the bustling streets of New York City for Blue Bloods, Selleck has always prioritized family time. He is a known homebody and commutes back and forth to be with his loved ones, reveling in the simple joys of tending to his ranch.
With the recent end of the writers’ strike, there’s a buzz that Selleck might allocate less time to ranch duties and focus more on scripting the highly-anticipated tenth installment in the Jesse Stone movie franchise. Inspired by the literary works of Robert Parker, this critically acclaimed series has been a passion project for Selleck. He aspires for each movie to surpass its predecessor, not just for monetary gains, but because he wants each film to earn its place in what he calls a box set of 10 movies.
As fans eagerly await more updates on Selleck’s ventures, the transformation of his trademark mustache into a full-grown beard signifies a potential new chapter in his multifaceted career. Join Selleck on this exciting journey as he embraces change with style and continues to captivate audiences with his talent and charm.
