Tom Selleck discussed his financial concerns following the discontinuation of “Blue Bloods,” the television program in which he played the top cop for the New York Police Department for 14 seasons, in a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning. In addition, the actor is coping with health problems.
At his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California, where the meeting was held, Selleck voiced concerns about his capacity to keep ownership of the land now that his primary source of consistent income is coming to an end.
With an emphasis on the value of a steady salary, Selleck—whose ranch was once an avocado farm—frankly addressed the realities of financial stability in the acting industry.
Even though the actor had a long and prosperous career in show business, he told the interviewer that although he might be set for life in general, it would be difficult for him to afford to maintain such a large property.
In response to a question regarding his seriousness, Selleck underlined that he needed to find new employment in order to maintain his lifestyle and control his spending.
Many of his supporters are taken aback by this discovery, since they may have assumed that his long career in Hollywood would have guaranteed him a stable financial future.
HEALTH CONCERNS
Recently, there has been discussion about Tom Selleck’s health, particularly since he finished filming the last season of “Blue Bloods.” His health has been the subject of gossip and worries, especially in relation to his arthritis.
According to reports, Selleck may have arthritis, which is said to cause him a lot of discomfort and necessitated the use of a stunt double for some of the “Blue Bloods” scenes. The Hollywood Gossip reports that Selleck’s management have vehemently refuted these allegations, claiming that the actor is “fit and vigorous.”It’s
Selleck has not officially acknowledged any particular health concerns in spite of these allegations. Nonetheless, he has admitted in previous interviews that doing his own stunts over the years has worn down his body, especially his back. Astute viewers have seen that Frank Reagan, his character on “Blue Bloods,” walks with a limp, which has increased conjecture on his health, according to The Mix.
Remaining busy at seventy-nine, Selleck just published his well-received book, “You Never Know.” He still enjoys his life on his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California, striking a balance between his work and family obligations.
This actor went from $150 a month to running a farm with his famous wife
Can you guess the iconic actor who went from living in a rundown New York “flophouse” for just $150 a month to owning a peaceful farm with his family?
This actor’s humble beginnings are a far cry from his current life of farm animals and fresh home-grown veggies. Growing up, he knew from an early age that he wanted to be an actor.
After trips to the movie theater, he would come home and immediately dress up as one of the characters from the film, fully immersing himself in the world of make-believe. His favorite childhood toy? A box of old clothes his mom had saved for him, which he used to fuel his imagination and creativity.
Wanted the ”real thing”
In 1976, fresh out of Philadelphia, he moved to New York City to chase his dream of acting. He spent months crashing on his sister’s couch before finding a cheap place through an ad in the Village Voice – a no-frills, budget-friendly “artist’s residence.”
Though the place was far from glamorous, it was exactly what he could afford at the time. In fact, the actor shared that it wasn’t even a single room – he had to move in with a roommate.
His roomie was a classical pianist, and the two shared the space for four years. In interviews, the actor fondly reminisces about the calming sounds of the piano that filled the apartment late at night.
While living in The Big Apple, the actor appeared in a production at the Circle in the Square Theater School. ”I wanted life, man, the real thing,” he later recalled to Nancy Mills of Cosmopolitan.
”The message I got was ‘The arts are it. Business is the devil’s work. Art and creative expression are next to godliness.’”
So, can you guess who this determined actor is?
He has a tall, lean frame and a signature look that’s a mix of rugged and charming.
With a square jaw and high cheekbones, he’s got a face that can go from intense to relatable in an instant. His light brown hair is often casually styled, and his deep-set eyes add a mysterious vibe. You might recognize his easy-going, yet timeless style that’s made him a fan favorite for decades. Can you guess who he is?
Alright, we won’t drag this out any longer.
While this Golden Globe Award winner was living in that tiny, $150-a-month space, he was also preparing for his big break.
Household name
Fast forward a few years, and he would go on to star in iconic films like Footloose, Beauty Shop, and The Woodsman, becoming a household name.
So here it is – it’s Kevin Bacon! From his early days as a young actor in New York to now living on a farm with his wife and their animals, his journey has truly been one to follow
Now, the actor is living a completely different life. He and his wife, fellow actress Kyra Sedgwick, now shares a 40-acre farm in Sharon, Connecticut. They have several animals, including goats, pigs, alpacas, and miniature horses.
”I love animals, they are a joy to be around, and they’re very, very calming for me,” Bacon said. ”But we also really love to go into the garden and get fresh herbs or tomatoes or basil or peppers or zucchini.”
And talk about how Bacon is living a completely different life today compared to his bachelor days in New York. He’s got more millions in the bank now – and doesn’t have to rely on his old roommate’s cooking skills anymore.
”He would cook,” Bacon said of his former roommate in New York.
”I didn’t know anything about cooking since I was used to going to the store and getting a sandwich or eating a slice of pizza.”
He added, ”And I watched my roommate, and he was a very frugal man so he was not going to go out and spend money to eat in a restaurant or even get something to go. He would make his own food and I got very inspired by that.”
Gradually, both Kevin and Kyra shares snippets of their daily lives on social media, with Sedgwick posting so many videos of her and their goats to TikTok that people now recognize her for it, rather than her acting roles.
“People were like, ’We love you singing with the goats.’ Kevin and I are like, ’Great, have you seen our movies or TV shows?’ But it makes people happy,” the actress and producer told People.
They even shared that his relationship with his animals has caused a shift in his eating habits — he no longer eats goat or pig products.
”It’s all about the animals,” Kevin says, adding that his wife won’t let him get any more animals, as he’d likely stop eating even more types of food. The couple also loves tending to their garden, growing fresh herbs, tomatoes, and peppers.
Interestingly, the Footloose star and Sedgwick aren’t the only celebs drawn to farm life. In fact, famed actress Jennifer Garner decided to buy back the farm her mother grew up on and transform it into an organic produce project for baby food.
