If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming that 'Tom’s days as the car-jumping-scuba-diving-action star are a thing of the past.' Like these two online publications, a third source, quotes-news.com, wrote that Selleck's Blue Bloods co-stars have also shared their concern, with one saying that Selleck hates the fact that the disease is slowing him down.

According to the same source, the unidentified co-star also shared that Selleck seems to have a handle on things, despite the debilitating nature of the condition. "Tom’s an old-school, true professional, so he never complains about the pain," the co-star was quoted. The sources agreed that the disease itself poses secondary threats that are of great concern to some of the actor's family, highlighting the condition, uveitis.
Quoting Express UK as their source, the reports stated that uveitis, which is caused by inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, can lead to blindness, and can be caused by arthritis. Despite all three online publications sharing the same news, few other sites, newspapers or magazines seem to corroborate this information. Whether Selleck's failing health and crippling arthritis is a matter of fact or fiction is still unclear at this stage.

which kind of arthritis? osteo- or rheumatoid
ReplyDeleteor psoriasis Any form can be devastating and painful. I have osteo and it has got to the point of me being able to do little than sit (on certain seats) or walking no more than 20 feet. If he has something similar - I can truly imagine what he is going through.
DeleteWhy doesn't Tom get a laminectomy for his spinal stenosis, I did and I am back to walking normally..
DeleteThomas we love you show we hope you get better we just love to look at blue blue blood and you came on Magnum PI we love you hope you get better from chapel Hill North Carolina
ReplyDeleteMust be true. I googled "Tom Selleck's health" when I watched an episode of Blue Bloods and noticed he was always sitting down, unmoving in scenes. It was immediately obvious that he needed to be seated in all scenes.
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers for you
ReplyDeleteI noticed as I watched him walking in an episode that he walks stiff-legged and appears to be in pain. 😥
ReplyDeleteI have noticed the stiff legged, waddle walk. I have spinal stenosis from arthritis, so, I identify with his pain.
DeleteIf you wind up in a wheelchair,come on, you're Tom selleck,Kool no matter!!
ReplyDeleteI was brought here via a google search on Tom Selleck's health, because -- I hadn't watched much TV and hadn't seem him in anything since watching the 2005-2012 Jesse Stone series, the adaptations of the Robert B Parker crime/mystery books. (I can no longer read any of the Jesse Stone books without seeing Selleck; he was so perfect for the part!).. So anyway, I recently just began watching Blue Bloods, starting with the current season 10, and it is so plain to see that when the script does have him walking, he walks with that painful looking arthritic hobble. That man has always been the epitome of bass-ass and sweetheart combined, and I seriously hope and pray something to give him relief back to health can be found.
ReplyDeleteI second the motion. Prayers for you, Tom.
DeleteI noticed on one of his AARP commercials his knees were not bending well, and he was very stiff legged. I wish him the very best.
ReplyDeleteI also suffer from RA and I am only 58 so I know how he feels ~ Tom Selleck has and always will be a great actor. Doesn't matter is he is sitting or standing he plays his part. Praying for some relief for you Tom Selleck.

ReplyDeleteI have arthritis and I have found when stretching, less is more. Meaning don't stretch till it hurts. Stretch gently (whole body) to relieve stiffness a little at a time. Also I've recently added a bag of ginger tea to my green tea every morning and these combined help so much with inflammation relief.
ReplyDeleteI am 76 with lower back arthritis. CBD Oil has really helped with nerve pain. I'm sure with Tom's research available he will find help.
ReplyDeleteI am 62 and have suffer from RA since I was 35 I have always watched Tom Selleck in all thinks wounderful person and actor weather driving a sports car ,Blue Blood actor or commercial on TV FOR SENIORS. THANK YOU for all the enjoyment you have provided for the world and GOD bless you.
ReplyDeleteHello Mr.Selleck, So sorry to hear of your health issue with arthritis. Have you ever given the essential oils a chance? Doterra is what we use. Recently I have been watching your Magnum PI shows and had a feeling you weren't feeling well. So I inquired and found this article. I hope you can get this under control so you can lesson the pain from the inflammation and enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your suffering! I also suffer from AS.
ReplyDeleteI do understand how pain ful arthritis is. I have arthritis and Lupus and Sjorgrens syndrome. I take Diclofenac and also take a triple strength glucosamine chrondotin supplement and it really helps. I see you in blue bloods and can see the pain in your eyes. I pray you will find some kind of pain relief
ReplyDeleteTom start taking turmeric with coumadin in it and you will feel better
