Tom Selleck has been facing a secret medical crisis and is in such much pain that he had to utilize a stunt double on the cr1me thriller Blue Bloods.
According to sources close to Selleck, 78, he’s been putting on a brave front and showing up to work despite the daily agony of arthritis. “Tom’s in a lot of pain and agony,” a tipter stated, complimenting him on “gutting it out, but it’s obviously affecting him.”
He’s seen physicians and learned pain-relieving procedures, but the disease isn’t going away, according to the source. He’s doing his best to acclimate to the situation.
Meanwhile, Selleck’s rep emphasized that he is “fit and vigorous,” disputing that he is in “constant pain.”
Insiders believe Selleck is just being a trooper, adding that the star’s trip from his 65-acre avocado ranch in Ventura County to TV sites in New York City has taken its toll. Those close to him believe he would prefer to spend more time with his wife Jillie and daughter Hannah.
According to sources, the production used a stunt double to film regular sequences since Selleck’s physique was purportedly slowing down.
The actor is frequently required to film himself sitting down and becomes exhausted as a result of the effort. However, experts admit he can’t be expected to pull the same feats he performed 35 years ago on Magnum, PI during eight seasons.
They stated that Tom’s days as a car-jumping, scuba-diving action hero were over. Like other celebrities, Tom has a stunt double for dangerous action scenes, but he also utilizes him for routine situations like getting out of his police cruiser. Some days, his arthritis troubles him more than others.
Despite the challenge, Selleck was praised for being a “old-school, true professional” who never complains and gets the job done.
