At 80, Tom Selleck isn’t ready to fade into the background.
After Blue Bloods was canceled in 2024, sources say the longtime leading man was far from prepared to say goodbye. Watching former co-star Donnie Wahlberg move forward with the spinoff Boston Blue has reportedly fueled his determination to prove he can still carry a hit series.
Insiders claim Selleck has shaken things up behind the scenes — even parting ways with his longtime agency representation late last year. He’s also reportedly focused on his health, cutting back on junk food, committing to workouts, and undergoing physical therapy after photos sparked concern about his appearance.
“Perception matters,” a source says, noting that Selleck still sees himself as a bankable leading man — and fully believes he has what it takes.
But Hollywood has changed. According to insiders, today’s TV landscape favors fresh faces, making it tougher than ever for even the most established stars to land leading roles. Still, if anyone believes he can defy the odds, it’s Tom.
