Tom Selleck celebrates his 80th birthday solo at McDonald’s drive-thru before joining family for swanky dinner
He’s lovin’ it.
Tom Selleck marked his 80th birthday with a solo trip to McDonald’s.
The Emmy-winning actor was spotted picking up some lunch on his special day Wednesday at a drive-thru in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
The “Blue Bloods” actor, who rocked dark hair and a salt and pepper goatee, appeared in good spirits as he tucked into a burger.
Later in the day, the “Magnum P.I.” star joined his loved ones for a swanky dinner to mark the occasion.
Selleck was spotted arriving at celeb favorite spot Tuscany il Ristorante with his wife, Jillie Mack, 67, and their daughter Hannah, 36, the Daily Mail reports.
The trio were joined by other loved ones for the posh meal, which lasted for several hours until the restaurant’s closing time, the outlet adds.
As the group left, Selleck was seen carrying a gift in his hand.
The “Three Men and a Baby” actor revealed last month that he is unsentimental about birthdays and had no plans for the big day.
“I’ll probably have dinner with maybe my brother and my sister and Jillie, just go out to dinner, kind of be quiet and not make a big deal of it,” he told Parade magazine.
“I’m trying not to count. I stopped celebrating birthdays a while back. I intend to keep working,” he said, adding that birthdays aren’t as big of a deal to him now as they once used to be.
These days, the Hollywood star has more time to enjoy his life following the end of his CBS hit show “Blue Bloods.”
In last month’s interview with the outlet, Selleck reflected on the 15 years he spent playing New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in the hit show.
“The hardest part for me is we had the ‘Blue Bloods’ family and we had the actors’ family,” he said. “They’re all my pals. I miss them. It’s going to take a lot of getting used to.”
CBS announced their decision to cancel the long-running procedural in November 2023. Selleck later admitted to TV Insider that he was frustrated with the network pulling the plug.
“I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’ I don’t believe in holding grudges. But if you were to say to the television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe.”
“After 15 years, it’s hard. It’s hard to let go because coming to work was a joy,” he added.
Selleck admitted that he’s not looking to quit acting just yet as he revealed that he’d love to star in a Western helmed by “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan.
