According to CBN News, Selleck said God has guided him over the years.
“A
man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps,” he said.
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift
you up in due time.”
Selleck
had originally planned to work for United Airlines after college. His
acting work started when he appeared in a few commercials. Twentieth
Century Fox even offered him an acting contract, but he said God called
him to serve in the U.S. Army.
He served in the California National Guard in the 160th infantry regiment from 1967 to 1973.
“I
am a veteran, I’m proud of it. I was a sergeant in the U.S. Army
infantry, National Guard, Vietnam era. We’re all brothers and sisters in
that sense.”
After his time in the army, he went to Hollywood to begin acting again. He soon landed the lead role of Magnum, P.I.
The
show ran from 1980 to 1988. It consistently ranked in the top 20 of
U.S. television shows during its first five years, according to Nielsen
Ratings.
“As
good as this business has been to me, that’s not what life is about,”
he said. “Life is about more important things. You know, we’ve all
struggled as we get successful in this business to balance that, I
certainly have.”
Selleck
also volunteers with the National Guard to promote recruitment and
support. He is also the spokesperson for the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial
Fund.
“I
try very hard to conduct myself in an ethical way, because that’s
important to my stability now,” Selleck said. “We’re a culture that’s so
centered on the individual. The culture says that basically nothing is
more important than the way you feel.”
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 tha...
Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...
