So listen, Tom Selleck is living his best retired life right now, and honey, the drama surrounding his exit from Blue Bloods is still absolutely sizzling. The 80-year-old icon recently sat down for an exclusive with Hour Detroit at an unofficial Magnum P.I. Day celebration at Comerica Park in Detroit, and he did not hold back about his feelings on the whole situation. According to Hour Detroit, when asked point blank whether he'd be joining the Blue Bloods spinoff Boston Blue, Selleck said and I quote, "I don't know if I would do Boston Blue, that's another show." He made it crystal clear that while he feels a responsibility to Blue Bloods' legacy, he absolutely does not see it as his life mission to keep playing Frank Reagan forever. Hello, boundaries!

But here's where it gets deliciously complicated. According to Parade Magazine, his Blue Bloods costar Donnie Wahlberg, who's now carrying the torch on Boston Blue, revealed that he and Selleck have been having conversations about the spinoff, and get this, Selleck's been surprisingly supportive. Wahlberg told Parade he'd love for Tom to make an appearance, whether that's Frank visiting Boston or Danny heading back to New York. The Economic Times reports that Boston Blue has already featured cameos from Marisa Ramirez and Bridget Moynahan, and there's even been an off-camera phone conversation between Danny and his father, which is giving us all the feels but leaving fans desperate for more.

Now, the real tea? Selleck is still genuinely frustrated about CBS canceling Blue Bloods in 2024. According to both Parade and Hour Detroit, he called it a huge disappointment, pointing out that when the show went off air, it was the sixth most popular series on all of television, excluding football broadcasts. The man is not shy about his bewilderment, folks.

On the business side, Selleck's net worth sits around twenty million dollars according to Parade, with much of that wealth accumulated from his iconic Magnum P.I. days and his lucrative Blue Bloods run, where he was reportedly earning two hundred thousand per episode.

Looking ahead, Selleck mentioned to Parade that he's eager to tackle a comedy or even a Western, saying he misses sitting on a horse. The man is definitely not retiring anytime soon!
