Tom Selleck Focuses on Fitness and Future Roles After Blue Bloods Ends
At 79, Tom Selleck isn’t slowing down. Following the emotional conclusion of Blue Bloods after 14 successful seasons, the legendary actor is focused on regaining his physical strength and mobility—with his eyes set firmly on new opportunities, including the possibility of returning to the saddle.
“Tom meant it when he said he wants to get back on a horse,” a source told Closer. “He’s faced some mobility issues, but he’s fully committed to overcoming them.”
A New Chapter After Blue Bloods
The long-running CBS drama aired its final episode on December 13, 2024, drawing a season-high 6.68 million viewers. Since then, Selleck has redirected his energy toward his health. His current routine includes lifting weights, practicing Tai Chi, doing physiotherapy, swimming, and walking regularly with his wife. He’s also following a strict diet aimed at improving balance and shedding excess weight.
With his 80th birthday on the horizon, Selleck remains as driven as ever. “He has a lot more he wants to accomplish,” the insider added. “He’s especially excited about the idea of working with Taylor Sheridan on a series like Yellowstone—that’s been a major motivation for him to stay consistent with his health goals.”
Determined to Keep Going
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on December 14, the day after the Blue Bloods finale aired, Selleck addressed speculation about retirement. “You change physically over 15 years, but I don’t intend to stop working,” he said.
During the final seasons of Blue Bloods, the production team made adjustments to accommodate his orthopedic challenges—carefully planning scenes to reduce strain and minimize long periods on his feet. Insiders say any future projects will likely follow a similar approach, with networks such as CBS willing to adapt roles around Selleck’s needs to keep the beloved star active and in the spotlight.
