Tom Selleck, 79, was accused of looking “unrecognizable” and “worlds away from his 80s heyday” as he stepped out after his beloved show Blue Bloods was cancelled earlier this year.
Selleck Accused Of Looking ‘Completely Unrecognizable’
Selleck was recently spotted in Thousand Oaks, California with a bushy beard and wearing casual clothing. He was seen rocking a plain navy T-shirt with a matching linen shirt. He topped off his look with some causal black trainers.
“80s star Tom, who is renowned for his role in Magnum PI, looked completely unrecognizable with a rugged full beard,” Daily Mail reported in response.
This comes one month after Selleck was seen leaving a gym in Thousand Oaks. Fans quickly noticed that he had large vertical scars on both of his knees. This led many to speculate that Selleck recently underwent knee surgery.
“The apparent knee surgery scars would explain why he appeared to have ‘trouble walking’ back to his car as seen in footage obtained by In Touch Weekly,” Daily Mail continued.
Selleck’s Representatives Defend Him
Selleck has never spoken publicly about undergoing or needing a bilateral knee replacement surgery. His representatives declined to comment when contacted.
Last summer, Selleck’s representatives spoke out to deny that the former Magnum P.I. star was suffering from “a secret medical crisis that has forced him to use a stunt double while filming Blue Bloods.” Though reports claimed that Selleck was “in a lot of pain and agony,” his rep insisted that the actor was “fit and vigorous.”
In January of last year, Selleck’s representative also shut down reports claiming that he has “crippling arthritis.” The representative insisted that Selleck is in “excellent health.”
