Tom Selleck Sports Grizzled New Look with Bushier Mustache, Embraces Casual Style for Guilty Pleasure
Tom Selleck’s Laid-Back Life Post-“Blue Bloods”: Ranch Retreat, Fast Food, and a New Look
Shaggy beard, paunchy belly, and a disheveled vibe—Tom Selleck, 80, has embraced a relaxed retirement since CBS axed Blue Bloods in 2024 after 14 seasons. The actor, once known for his polished mustache and sharp suits as NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan, now spends most days at his $12 million avocado ranch in Thousand Oaks, California.

Low-Key Lifestyle
Selleck’s days revolve around simple pleasures. He’s often spotted running errands in his white pickup truck, hitting the gym in an all-black workout ensemble, or indulging in his guilty pleasure: McDonald’s. After a recent gym session, he treated himself to a Big Mac and soda in his truck—a routine he’s unapologetically repeated for years.

Ranch Life
His 63-acre ranch, purchased from Dean Martin in 1988 for $5 million, serves as his sanctuary. The property boasts a Spanish colonial-style home, hiking trails, a helipad, and over 1,500 trees—many planted by Selleck himself. “My relationships and my ranch keep me sane,” he told People in 2020. He spends hours tending to wildflowers and cruising the grounds on his ATV.

Career Reflections
The cancellation of Blue Bloods hit Selleck hard. He lamented to TV Insider, “The show was taken for granted. It guaranteed CBS a Friday night win for 15 years.” Though disappointed, he avoids bitterness: “I won’t turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’”

What’s Next?
Retirement might not be permanent. IMDb lists him in an untitled Jesse Stone project, reviving a role he last played in 2015. For now, though, he’s content with ranch life, occasional fast food, and a slower pace—proof that even TV’s sharpest commissioner enjoys letting loose.
