In a recent interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Tom Selleck opened up about the financial uncertainties he faces with the cancellation of “Blue Bloods,” the show where he has starred as the NYPD’s top officer for 14 seasons. But on top of that the actor is dealing with health issues.
During the conversation, which took place at his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California, Selleck expressed concerns about his ability to maintain ownership of the property now that his main source of steady income is ending.
Selleck, whose ranch was formerly an avocado farm, candidly discussed the reality of financial stability in the acting profession, emphasizing the importance of a consistent paycheck.
Despite his long and successful career in the entertainment industry, the actor admitted to the interviewer that while he might be set for life in general terms, affording the upkeep of such a large property is a different matter.
When asked if he was serious about his financial concerns, Selleck confirmed with earnest, highlighting his need to secure new roles to sustain his lifestyle and manage his expenses.
This revelation comes as a surprise to many of his fans who might assume that decades of work in Hollywood would have secured his financial future indefinitely.
Tom Selleck’s health has been a topic of interest recently, especially as he wrapped up the filming of the final season of “Blue Bloods.” There have been rumors and concerns about his well-being, particularly regarding arthritis.Reports have suggested that Selleck might be dealing with arthritis, which allegedly caused him significant pain and required the use of a stunt double for certain scenes on “Blue Bloods.” However, these claims have been strongly denied by his representatives, who maintain that Selleck is “fit and vigorous” according to The Hollywood Gossip
Despite these rumors, Selleck has not publicly confirmed any specific health issues. He has, however, acknowledged in past interviews that performing his own stunts over the years has taken a toll on his body, particularly affecting his back. Observant fans have noted that his character on “Blue Bloods,” Frank Reagan, walks with a limp, which has further fueled speculation about his health according to The Mix.
At 79 years old, Selleck remains active and recently released his memoir, “You Never Know,” which has been well-received. He continues to enjoy life on his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California, balancing his professional commitments with time spent with family.
