Tom Selleck Claimed His Body Let Him ‘Down’ Yet He Refuses To Color His Hair and Works At His Ranch Doing ‘Grunt Labor’

Despite the fact that his body has gradually aged and “let him down,” Tom Selleck appears to have swallowed the elixir of life. At 77, the actor who acknowledged to being like his father oozes energy and cheerfulness – he refuses to colour his hair and continues to work on farms.

Tom Selleck, at the age of 77, is astonishingly agile in both his professional and personal life. The Hollywood celebrity began his career as a famed series actor, initially appearing as a private investigator in “Magnum P.I.”

More than two decades later, in the hit cr1me series “Blue Bloods,” he starred as New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.

Although there was speculation that Selleck would depart the show, a source said that he was “tired of the Hollywood grind.” However, CBS stated that the show would return for a 13th season with the actor in the lead.

Selleck’s statement about his tenure on the show bolstered accusations that the “Blue Bloods” star has no concept of retiring. “But it’s a blessing!” he exclaimed. “I enjoy what I do and want to continue doing it.”

Despite his determination to continue performing, the 77-year-old has been candid about the difficulties he has encountered.

In a flashback interview, Selleck discussed his health, including when he felt his body was in terrific form, how his body let him down, and his attitude toward aging.

Tom Selleck Says His Body “Let Him Down”

 

Fans’ favorite “Blue Bloods” star did not mince words while discussing his aging experience, including health difficulties and his thoughts on stunts.

In the midst of addressing the allegations, Selleck has been open about how he feels as an older man. While discussing the changes he has gone through, the actor also discussed what he does to keep the aging process healthy.

Selleck said that his body changed in ways that felt strange to him as he aged. This was due to the consequences of his previous stunts throughout his career. In his own words:

“Well, it disappoints me in the sense that I can’t or won’t do what I used to… My back is in a bad way. When you do stunts in movies – and I do a lot of them – you take a risk, but you also sit a lot.”

Selleck claimed that it was not just unusual for him, but also for his friends whose careers revolved upon stunts. He noted that the stunts did not appear difficult at the time, but that it was only the cost of years of indulgence. He claims that:

“And I think the price – I see it with peers, and I talk to them occasionally.” Just look at the cost of all those stunts. They weren’t difficult, but I guess it’s the stop-and-go nature of everything.”

Despite addressing the reports regarding his absence from the CBS series, the gossip mills cranked out another piece of information about his deteriorating health. According to the allegations, Selleck suffered from chronic arthritis and that a stunt double was hired to stand in for him. According to the source:

“Macho Tom is disintegrating right in front of our eyes.”

Again, Selleck was eager to refute these charges; during a heart-to-heart with G.Q., he claimed that he maintains a healthy and balanced lifestyle and works hard on his ranch. He stated:

“I dislike going to the gym.” I have a 63-acre ranch where I perform a lot of the grunt work. Planting trees and clearing brush. I planted around a hundred antique oaks for us. “I’m sure I’ve planted a thousand trees myself.”

In the midst of addressing the allegations, Selleck has been open about how he feels as an older man. While discussing the changes he has gone through, the actor also discussed what he does to keep the aging process healthy.

Not dying his hair – accepting the change – and staying in shape by participating in heart-pumping activities such as competitive softball and baseball, according to the “Blue Bloods” star, has done the magic.

Although he is familiar with golf, it is not his favorite sport; he only played because his father required him to. Selleck had a close relationship with his father, and as an adult, he considers himself to be a chip off the old block. When asked about his resemblance to his father, he said:

“I’m becoming more like him. I hear him in some of the things I talk about. I occasionally hear him talking to my daughter. I’m not sure what it was—my father was a fantastic guy and a great example.”

Selleck refuses to dye his hair and prefers to keep it natural.

Selleck is a man who is content with the way things are and is unwilling to adjust his beliefs to match any society narrative or norm. So far, the actor is pleased with his salt-and-pepper hair. The 77-year-old enjoys his reality and would rather enjoy it than sacrifice his convictions about aging.

 

Despite the pressure from others, he gallantly explained that he never colored his hair. Interestingly, Selleck considers his hair color to be a blessing rather than a curse. Selleck disclosed:

“One thing I did not do was color my hair.” I’m tired of hearing that I colour my hair! This is it, dude. I have gray hair in there. Turning gray is a godsend at my age because it softens all of the other dreadful things it does to you, but it is what it is.”

Indeed, the “Blue Bloods” star shown that he is not just committed to maintaining his appearance but also wants it to be acceptable. During his time on the show, he acknowledged that he asked the makeup artist to add some grey hairs to his mustache. He stated.

“However, the digital camera they used on the show didn’t even show it.” But I’m getting greyer, which is a wonderful thing.”

Onscreen, Selleck is very similar to his character, Frank Reagan. Both guys have work experience, are conscientious, and know how to defend their views.

Also, the 77-year-old actor exudes optimism, demonstrating how his positive view on life has benefited his health and is naturally aiding his aging.
