At 79, Tom Selleck has lived a long life in the spotlight, but he still prefers to keep things simple. In fact, the famous actor has never sent a single text message.
You will need to go via his wife, Jillie, in order to text him. He used to have an assistant handle his emails, and he rarely looks up his own name online. Selleck said he simply appreciates the peace of being offline and isn’t attempting to make a statement.
His latest memoir, You Never Know, describes his journey of working in Hollywood for decades while staying grounded. These days, Selleck lives a peaceful life on a ranch in California.
He doesn’t watch much TV, preferring to spend his time outdoors or reading scripts for his show, Blue Bloods.
The book frames his entire life, from childhood to his famous roles in Magnum, P.I., Friends and Three Men and a Baby.
Interestingly, Selleck views his acting career as a bit of an accident. He never set out to be famous; he just wanted to do his job well.
Readers won’t find any wild Hollywood gossip in his book. Instead, it’s an honest look at hard work, focus, and persistence.
Today, Selleck remains happily married, is still working, and is still letting his wife handle the texting. He still seems a bit surprised by his own success, which is why he finally decided to share his story.
