“Tom Selleck Struggles with Mobility and Health Concerns”
Tom Selleck Faces Mobility Challenges and Health Concerns
Tom Selleck is currently undergoing physical therapy, but sources reveal he is struggling significantly with his mobility. The 79-year-old actor has been seen looking particularly downcast in the San Fernando Valley, and insiders note that he has visible scars on both knees, indicating recent surgeries.
“He’s having a tough time healing,” an insider shared. “He’s unsteady on his feet and has difficulty walking without assistance.” Recent video footage shows Tom leaving the gym, where he appeared to struggle and had to lean on his truck for support.
While he’s working with specialists and participating in rehabilitation at the gym, progress has been slow. The source mentions that if his condition doesn’t improve, he may need to consider using a walker.
To aid his recovery, losing weight is crucial for Tom’s joint health, as he reportedly weighs around 350 pounds—150 pounds heavier than during his Magnum, P.I. days. Sources indicate that he has been indulging in comfort food since the cancellation of his beloved show, Blue Bloods, which has taken an emotional toll on him.
After the show’s 14th season ended in June, insiders noted that Tom is grieving the loss, stating, “These people were family to him.” He has continued to enjoy dining out, which has contributed to his weight gain.
Although Tom is determined to return to the gym, loved ones are concerned about his health due to his current diet. “He needs to shed pounds,” a source said. “It’s clear, but it won’t be easy, especially after this unexpected retirement.”
In a recent interview with TV Insider, Tom expressed his frustration over the end of Blue Bloods, saying, “It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out.” He reflects on the sudden change in his routine, acknowledging the difficulty of adjusting to life post-show.
