(RightIsRight.co) – Renowned actor Tom Selleck is concerned about sustaining his expansive 63-acre ranch once “Blue Bloods” concludes this upcoming winter.
For over a decade, the 79-year-old actor has portrayed New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on the hit CBS crime drama, but news of the show’s coming to an end left devoted fans saddened.
Selleck, in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” reflected on his illustrious career spanning decades.
He said, alluding to his ranch, “You know, hopefully I keep working enough to hold onto the place,” host Tracy Smith queried, “Seriously, that’s an issue? If you stopped working?”
“That’s always an issue,” Selleck acknowledged. “If I stopped working, yeah. Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!”
Since acquiring the ranch in 1988 after his role in Magnum: PI, Selleck has treasured the property. While he is gearing up to turn 80 in January, the TV star said he has no plans to step away from acting anytime soon.
“As an actor, you never lose — I don’t lose, anyway — that sense that every time I finish a job, it’s my last job,” he reflected.
He continued, “I like the fact that there’s no excuses. You just go to work and you do the work. And I have a lot of reverence for what I call ‘the work,’ and I love it. And I’d like to keep doing it.”
Optimistically, Selleck holds out hope for a reversal of the decision to cancel “Blue Bloods” by year-end.
He remarked, “I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses. We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back.”
And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!” he concluded.
Selleck has previously expressed the profound significance of his ranch, which he described it as vital to his well-being.
“My relationships and my ranch keep me sane,” he disclosed to People in 2020. “I do grunt work and I make the rounds. I like watching things grow. It’s a retreat.”
