Tom Selleck was recently spotted out and about in Thousand Oaks, California, and fans were shocked by his dramatic transformation. The legendary actor, now 79, is widely known for his iconic role in *Magnum P.I.* during the 1980s, where he sported a dashing mustache and classic Hawaiian shirts. However, the recent sighting showed a very different Tom. Donning a bushy full beard and casual attire, Selleck appeared worlds away from the look that made him a household name decades ago.
The *Blue Bloods* star opted for a laid-back ensemble during his rare public appearance, wearing a plain navy T-shirt with a matching linen shirt and black trainers. But what truly caught fans’ attention were the large vertical scars visible on both his knees, which fueled speculation that he might have recently undergone surgery.
Some eagle-eyed followers began to wonder if Selleck had a double knee replacement, as he appeared to have difficulty walking back to his car in footage shared by *In Touch Weekly*.
Adding to the mystery, this sighting comes after concerns arose earlier in the year about Selleck’s health. Rumors of medical issues have swirled around the actor for some time. Last year, his representatives denied a report by *RadarOnline* that claimed Selleck was dealing with a secret medical crisis. The report alleged that he was using a stunt double on the set of *Blue Bloods* due to severe pain. However, his reps quickly squashed these rumors, insisting that Selleck remained fit and vigorous despite his age.
Now, fans are speculating that the scars and recent appearance could be related to ongoing health issues. Despite these concerns, Tom has not publicly commented on the nature of his knee surgery, nor has he addressed the speculation surrounding his health in recent years.
The recent sighting also marks Selleck’s first public appearance since *Blue Bloods*—the long-running CBS series in which he portrayed NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan—was canceled after 14 seasons. The decision to end the beloved show came as a shock to both fans and the actor, who openly expressed disappointment about the show’s abrupt conclusion.
Despite this, Selleck is said to be looking forward to enjoying a slower pace of life on his ranch in Ventura, California, with his wife Jillie and their daughter. After years of commuting back and forth to the East Coast for filming, Selleck is now relishing the opportunity to settle down and embrace his twilight years in peace.
While the end of *Blue Bloods* is bittersweet, fans will still get to see Selleck one last time as Frank Reagan when the final season airs in October. And as the actor steps away from the limelight, there’s little doubt that his legacy, both from *Magnum P.I.* and *Blue Bloods*, will endure for years to come.
