How Is Tom Selleck’s Health? Addressing Arthritis Rumors

Tom Selleck, the star of Blue Bloods, has been the subject of tabloid speculation about his health, particularly rumors of severe arthritis. Reports from sources like RadarOnline claimed Selleck was experiencing debilitating joint pain, allegedly requiring a stunt double for even basic scenes. However, Selleck’s representatives have consistently denied these claims, maintaining the actor is “fit and vigorous.”

Selleck himself has rarely commented on his health. In a 2014 GQ interview, he admitted that years of performing stunts took a toll on his back, but he stays active by working on his 63-acre California ranch. He also acknowledged that the commute to New York for filming Blue Bloods was tiring, but expressed no desire to quit the show at the time.

Despite the rumors, Selleck has continued working on Blue Bloods, which will conclude with its 14th season. While he hasn’t directly addressed the arthritis allegations, his memoir You Never Know, released May 2024, offers a glimpse into his personal and professional life, marking a rare step into the spotlight for the notoriously private actor.
