Tom Selleck, renowned for his iconic roles in Magnum P.I. and Three Men and a Baby, has faced persistent health rumors. Despite ongoing TV appearances, concerns about his well-being have surfaced. Reports suggested a battle against “crippling arthritis” and an “incurable sickness” with claims of impaired vision.

Since Blue Bloods’ debut in 2010, viewers noticed Selleck’s apparent limp, prompting speculation about his health. Media outlets explored a 2019 allegation of “crippling arthritis,” though Selleck never confirmed health issues. Sources hinted at undisclosed medical concerns and steroid use for arthritis, potentially explaining the observed limp.

Selleck, known for keeping his private life guarded, remains silent on the matter, with no health disclosures in his 2019 memoir. Amid retirement rumors, insiders suggest Selleck’s weariness of the Hollywood grind, citing breathing difficulties and diminishing stamina on set as factors. Reports claim, “[Selleck] is tired of the grind and the show really wears him down more and more each season.”
