For years, whispers have circulated about Selleck's health. Reports indicate persistent issues with his legs and feet, visibly affecting his gait. Witnesses describe a noticeable change, noting a plodding walk reminiscent of a certain cinematic monster, a stark contrast to the confident stride audiences are accustomed to.

Adding to the complexity, the actor has been candid about personal and professional decisions throughout his career.

The recent conclusion of "Blue Bloods," where Selleck played Frank Reagan for 14 seasons, marks a significant shift. However, the actor is embracing this new chapter.
