Tom Selleck Now “Begging” Friends For Work For A Dreading Reason

Tom Selleck, the beloved star of Magnum P.I. and Blue Bloods, isn’t ready to call it quits! Not just yet. With Blue Bloods unexpectedly canceled, sources say the 79-year-old actor is reaching out to some old friends to find his next big role.

According to insiders, Selleck is particularly leaning on his former Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox for some support. “He’s desperate for work and calling in every favor he can think of,” an insider shared. “People might not realize how close he is with the Friends cast.”

Leaning on Friends for a Boost

Selleck left a memorable mark on Friends when he played Monica’s love interest, Dr. Richard Burke. The cast, as the source shared, “all loved him when he was on the show.” Now, he’s hoping that connection will lead to fresh opportunities. “He’s hoping Jennifer and Courteney will lend him a hand,” the source revealed. He’s even dreaming about a possible role on The Morning Show, where Aniston stars. “He would love that!” insiders say.

Staying Alive After Blue Bloods

The sudden end of his 14-year stint on Blue Bloods has left Selleck feeling “bored” and looking for ways to stay active. “He’s a workaholic; he can’t retire,” a source close to him said. “Tom has finally gotten it, loud and clear, that Blue Bloods is not coming back, so he’s trying to get work proactively.” While Selleck’s passion for acting remains strong, downtime has apparently taken a toll on his health. According to sources, he’s now around 350—150 pounds heavier than in his 1980s Magnum P.I. days. “Being out of work has not helped his health,” an insider added. “He has too much time sitting around doing nothing.”

With determination and the support of his Hollywood friends, Selleck is eager to take on a new role. “Hopefully his old pals can help!” the insider added. After all, Tom Selleck’s career is far from over; he’s simply gearing up for a fresh start.
