With Blue Bloods set to come an end with its series finale on December 13, it looks as though Tom Selleck is looking at new projects to sink his teeth into.
After 14 seasons on the air, the police procedural drama is set to say goodbye to the airwaves. Selleck, 79, has been a key feature on the program as New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.Despite his advancing years, reports suggest Selleck is looking around in an attempt to land his next acting gig, even turning to old pals in Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox for help.
“He’s desperate for work and calling in every favor he can think of,” a source said.
“People might not realize how close he is with the Friends cast from back when the Magnum, P.I. hunk famously played a love interest of Cox’s character, Monica Geller.
“They all loved him when he was on the show. He’s hoping Jennifer and Courteney will lend him a hand.
“He truly believes they can set him up with a gig of his liking, and maybe Jen can even get him on The Morning Show. He would love that.”
Selleck not eyeing retirement
Despite being 79, the source added that Selleck is “bored” and “out of sorts” after Blue Bloods was brought to a sudden end.
As s result, Selleck is looking to fill his time with a new acting gig rather than retire.
“He’s a workaholic, he can’t retire”, claimed a mole. “Tom has finally gotten it, loud and clear, that Blue Bloods is not coming back, so he’s trying to get work proactively. He has lots of friends in Hollywood and he’s tapping all his contacts.
“Being out of work has not helped his health. He has too much time sitting around doing nothing. Hopefully his old pals can help!”
