Acting legend Tom Selleck spent his milestone 80th birthday in a low-key way, grabbing lunch from a McDonald’s drive-thru in Thousand Oaks, California.
On Wednesday, the legendary actor was spotted picking up fast food and attending a quiet outing instead of a grand celebration. Last month, Tom spoke to Parade magazine about his feelings toward birthdays, admitting he doesn’t put much weight on them.
When asked about his plans for the big day, he responded, “None whatsoever. I’ll probably go out for dinner with my brother, my sister, and Jillie, and then I’ll probably just be quiet and avoid making a big deal out of it. He was referring to his wife, Jillie Mack, 67. The Magnum, P. I. and Blue Bloods star, known for his rugged on-screen presence, has made it clear that birthdays don’t hold much significance for him anymore. “I’m trying not to count. Back in the day, I stopped observing birthdays. I intend to keep working”, he said.
Dressed casually, with his signature dark hair and goatee, Tom was seen eating in his truck after collecting his order, according to eyewitnesses. Fans may have anticipated a more glamorous celebration of the beloved star, but it turns out he preferred a straightforward, straightforward day, as he had intended.
As the CBS police drama series Blue Bloods’ curtain sank, Tom was considering his next moves toward the end of the year. Over the course of the show’s successful decade-plus run, the former PI lead has become a household name after playing the family honcho Frank Reagan for all 14 seasons.
When Blue Bloods’ final season aired last October, viewers were horrified. Despite wrapping up the final eight episodes of Blue Bloods, Tom is still wearing his TV hat. He’s dropped hints about making a comeback in another fan-favourite role and no, it’s not as Thomas Magnum, reports the Express. Tom, who plays the eponymous small-town police chief, was first portrayed in Blue Bloods in 2010 and quickly won over audiences with his role in the Jesse Stone: Stone Cold TV movie.
In the nine TV films adapted from Robert B Parker’s gripping novels, he brought to life the New England top cop untangling mysteries in the quaint town of Paradise, Massachusetts. Tom didn’t just act; he wrote in a series of installments and even received an Emmy nomination for his work in the 2007 film Jesse Stone: Sea Change, a sign of his affinity with the character.
He’s now mulling over a return to the Jesse Stone franchise, albeit with the possibility of having to don the writer’s cap again this time, revealing to TV Insider: “It looks like now I might have to write]the script]”. Still, he hinted at more tales to tell, saying: “It wouldn’t be a final one because everybody loves it. It would be fascinating to see where Jesse is a few years later because he is a fantastic character.
