Tom Selleck Shows Off Dramatic Transformation After Loved Ones ‘Staged a Mini-Intervention’

Tom Selleck was looking like death warmed over not so long ago, but he’s turned things around after loved ones reportedly staged an SOS intervention to save his life.

Dramatic new photos show the Blue Bloods alum, 80, looking back to his normal self as he ran errands in his Thousand Oaks, Calif., neighborhood on Oct. 20.

After hitting a gym, the beloved actor — sporting a neatly trimmed goatee and trendy new eyeglasses — stopped by a dry cleaner, where he gallantly held the door for a female customer.

His suave and slimmer appearance is a far cry from the last time he was snapped over the summer and last year, when he was porky and unkempt, sparking fears he was on his last legs.

“Tom’s a proud guy,” says an insider. “He didn’t appreciate all the noise over his health and told people it was a lot of fuss over nothing. But deep down he knew he looked terrible, and that all the junk food and lack of exercise had caught up to him. He wasn’t taking care of himself hygiene-wise and didn’t even bother to trim his beard.”

Sources say Tom’s shocking decline forced loved ones, led by his doting wife of 38 years, Jillie Mack, 67, to read him the riot act for his own good.

“Jillie and a small group of trusted friends staged a mini-intervention,” reveals a source. “They told him this was no way to live and that he deserved to take care of himself. Over time, Tom cut back on the fast food. He’s been exercising and doing physical therapy. He’s even had his hair styled, which has done wonders for his confidence.”

As readers know, the beloved Magnum, P.I. star was devastated last December after TV bosses abruptly pulled the plug on his hit police procedural drama Blue Bloods after 14 seasons.

Cast members on the show’s spinoff, Boston Blue, are now jockeying for him to be included, sources say.

“Tom’s comeback prospects are looking good,” says a source. “He’s keeping his fingers and toes crossed for a call from the producers, who’ve got everyone pleading for Tom to at least get a cameo.”
