Tom Selleck’s Big Comeback Plans
Hey there, friends. Let’s talk about a legend in the entertainment world—Tom Selleck. You know him as the iconic Frank Reagan from "Blue Bloods," but now, as the curtain falls on that chapter of his life, Tom is setting his sights on something new. Sources close to him reveal that he's aiming for major action roles in 2025, and he's putting in the work to make it happen.
According to an exclusive source from Closer, Tom is determined to get back in top physical shape after dealing with some tough physical challenges in recent years. “Tom meant it when he said he wants to get back on a horse. He doesn’t think it’s too much to ask for at all,” the source shares. “The truth is, he’s faced some mobility issues, which we all know about, but guess what? He’s working harder than ever to overcome them.”
Staying Active and Committed
For Tom, who is 79 years old, the end of "Blue Bloods" after its 14-season run on December 13, 2024, marked not the end of his career but a fresh start. This show, which had a stellar cast including Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Vanessa Ray, and Len Cariou, was a significant part of his life for over a decade. Yet, Tom isn’t ready to hang up his boots just yet. In fact, he’s gearing up for new opportunities.

The finale episode of "Blue Bloods" was a massive hit, drawing in a season-high of 6.68 million viewers in Live+Same Day ratings, according to VideoAmp data. This impressive number was 15 percent higher than the season-to-date average, proving just how beloved the show was. But now, Tom is shifting his focus to the future.
Tom’s Fitness Journey
So, what’s Tom doing to prepare for these new roles? Well, he’s hitting the gym, practicing Tai Chi to improve his balance, and undergoing physiotherapy. "He’s lifting weights, practicing Tai Chi to improve his balance, and doing physiotherapy. He’s also really watching everything he eats so he can shed some weight, which will make everything easier," explains an insider. "Tom and his wife love to take long walks around their farm every night after dinner, which is fantastic. He’s also been swimming, attacking this fitness goal from every possible angle."
As Tom approaches his 80th birthday, he’s feeling more motivated than ever to achieve his best physical condition. “He has a lot more he wants to accomplish,” the source reveals. "Getting a role in one of Taylor Sheridan’s shows, like 'Yellowstone,' is at the top of his list. That’s what’s driving him to stick to his diet and workout routine.”
Tom’s Promise to Fans
Just one day after the finale aired, Tom reassured his loyal fans that his acting career is far from over. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on December 14, 2024, he expressed gratitude for the evolution of his character over the years. "Fifteen years is a long time, and you change physically, mentally, emotionally—you just grow. At a certain point, all those changes entered into what I’ll put in my little actor’s handbook and use, because I certainly don’t intend to stop working,” he said.
A separate source told Closer on December 25, 2024, that adjustments were often made on the "Blue Bloods" set to accommodate Tom’s orthopedic issues. "The workaround was the show’s signature dinner table scenes, allowing Tom to deliver long takes and big acting moments without being on his feet for hours," the source explained. "This approach will carry over to whatever Tom does next—CBS is happy to custom-build a show around Tom’s needs."
