Hey there, friends. If you've been following Tom Selleck's journey, you know he's been dealing with some changes lately. Now, exclusive sources are spilling the tea to Closer, revealing that Tom's been diving into comfort food since the heartbreaking end of his long-running show, Blue Bloods. And let's face it, who wouldn't turn to food after something that big?
Here's the scoop: Sources and medical experts tell Closer that the towering 6-foot-4 actor is tipping the scales at a staggering 350 pounds. That's a massive 150-pound difference from his lean days in the 1980s when he was rocking it as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I.. It’s not just numbers on a scale, though—it’s about the toll it’s taking on his overall health.
From Fit to Fighting the Bulge
Back in the day, Tom was a strapping 200 pounds, looking sharp and ready for action. But now, insiders say he's practically obese. One source broke it down: “Tom was fit and strong when he was acting on the show, but now he’s carrying a lot more weight. It’s tough to see such a beloved figure struggle like this.”

Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who hasn’t treated Tom but knows a thing or two about health, weighed in, saying, “I’d estimate he’s around 350 pounds now. And that belly fat? It’s a red flag. Abdominal obesity is serious business—it’s not just about how someone looks. It’s about the health risks that come with it.”
What the Recent Photos Reveal
Recently, 79-year-old Tom was spotted out and about in Thousand Oaks, California, and those photos tell a story. He was sporting a noticeable gut and seemed to have trouble getting in and out of his trusty Dodge Ram truck. Another insider chimed in, saying, “It’s heartbreaking to see him this way. He’s a legend, and it’s clear he’s struggling. Watching him try to fit behind the wheel of his car—it’s just not the Tom we know and love.”
For Tom and his fans, the end of Blue Bloods after its 14th season was a tough pill to swallow. A source opened up about it, saying, “Tom’s heart is broken. The show wasn’t just a job to him; it was family. They celebrated with fancy meals toward the end, and it seems like he’s continued that pattern.”
Health Risks and the Path Forward
Sources say Tom talks about hitting the gym, but loved ones are genuinely worried about his health. One insider shared, “His body is showing signs of wear and tear. He needs to lose weight, and everyone can see it. But this forced retirement hasn’t been kind to him. It’s not going to be an easy road.”
Dr. Mirkin isn’t holding back when it comes to the health risks Tom faces. He warns, “Massive abdominal obesity comes with a laundry list of potential issues. It’s linked to excessive fat in the liver, which causes insulin resistance, leading to diabetes and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. If I were his doctor, I’d be urging him to get that fat out of his liver immediately. Gastric bypass surgery could be an option, but there are risks. There are also new weight loss drugs, but they come with their own set of side effects. He needs a compassionate physician who will guide him through his options.”
