Tom Selleck started No Shave November early.
The “Magnum, P.I.” star looked nearly unrecognizable as he ditched his signature mustache for a full beard while stepping out for a rare public outing on Sept. 25.
Selleck, who has rocked his trademark ‘stache ever since he became a household name in the 1980s, sported his newly scruffy facial hair as he ran errands in the San Fernando Valley in California.
He wore a plain dark blue T-shirt and styled his graying hair in a simple comb-over.
The 78-year-old actor had not been spotted in public for more than a year when he was photographed driving his silver pickup truck near his residence.
Although he lives a very private life, Selleck has been starring as Frank Reagan on “Blue Bloods” since 2010.
The CBS show has been on a filming hiatus due to the writers strike that began in May. However, the Writers Guild of America finally reached a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers earlier this week.
Aside from working on “Blue Bloods,” Page Six reported in 2019 that Selleck was writing a memoir covering his decades-spanning career plus his life “away from the camera.” There has not yet been a release date announcement or any further word on the book’s progress.
In 2020, the “Three Men and a Baby” star was honored with a Paley Award for his award-winning career and dedication to media education initiatives.
“From a kid who ‘watched’ the radio to a young man who languished on the bench of the USC basketball team, well, it’s a long way from there to here,” he said in a statement at the time
“To be honest I am not sure where ‘getting here’ lands you, so I am grateful for the Paley Center’s invitation to a celebration of ‘getting here,’ wherever that may be. I am honored to support the organization’s mission and look forward to reflecting on the past and the future. Many thanks.”
The duo tied the knot in 1987 and share a 34-year-old daughter named Hannah. (The actor also has a 57-year-old son, Kevin, with his ex-wife, Jacqueline Ray.)
Selleck’s life away from the Hollywood spotlight was crafted very carefully over the years.
“I’m a fairly private person,” he told People in 2020. “And I’ve always treasured the balance between work and time with my family. It’s always about them.”
