When the beloved show Blue Bloods was suddenly canceled, Tom Selleck found himself in a reflective phase. But according to an exclusive source from Closer, Tom isn’t letting this unexpected turn slow him down. In fact, at 80 years old, he’s embracing new opportunities with enthusiasm, showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. “Tom is happiest when he's working,” a close source reveals. “Acting isn’t a chore for him—it’s a passion that invigorates him and keeps him feeling young.”
Tom’s Love for Acting
For Tom, stepping into a character isn’t just about the paycheck; it’s about the sheer joy of storytelling. His tenure on Blue Bloods spanned 14 seasons, during which he formed deep bonds with his fellow cast members, mirroring the familial relationships he portrayed on screen. This genuine connection with his on-screen family extended off-screen as well, particularly with Donnie Wahlberg, who played his character’s son. “Tom and Donnie developed a tight bond over the years,” another source shares. “Their friendship didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling.”
Reflecting on ‘Blue Bloods’
Tom has been candid about the emotional toll the sudden cancellation took on him. “The hardest part for me was leaving behind the family we’d created,” he confided to Parade shortly before the series finale aired in December 2024. “These people were more than colleagues—they were my friends. It’s going to take some time to adjust to this new chapter.”

Despite the heartache, Tom remains open to revisiting the Blue Bloods universe. “If the opportunity arises, he’d jump at the chance to do something with that world again,” the source adds. “But Tom’s not one to sit around waiting for the phone to ring. He’s proactive and ready to take on new challenges.”
Tom’s New Project
Tom’s next big venture is an “Untitled Jesse Stone Project,” a television film currently in development. Fans of the franchise will remember that Tom played the titular character in nine movies based on the popular detective novel series, with the last one released in 2015. While details are still scarce, it seems likely that Tom will reprise his role as Jesse Stone, this time also serving as an executive producer. “Tom wants to have more control over the projects he’s involved in,” the source explains. “He’s determined to prove that age is just a number and that he’s still full of energy and creativity.”
There was some buzz about Tom making appearances on Donnie Wahlberg’s Blue Bloods spinoff, Boston Blue, but instead of waiting around, Tom decided to take matters into his own hands. “He’s stepping in as an executive producer on his next project, ensuring it gets made and giving himself some creative control,” the source reveals. This move underscores Tom’s determination to stay active and relevant in the industry, proving that 80 is just another milestone in his storied career.
As Tom embarks on this new chapter, fans can expect more from the iconic actor. With his energy, passion, and undeniable talent, Tom Selleck continues to inspire and entertain, reminding everyone that age is truly just a number.
