According to the source, the Magnum, P.I. alum had previously lost around 15 pounds by cutting back on “grease binges” at fast food restaurants. However, as he struggles to revive his career, “that willpower seems to have flown out the window,” the source tells Globe. “There’s a fear he may be digging his own grave.”

The Hollywood legend, 81, starred on Blue Bloods for 14 years before its cancellation in 2024 — a decision he was vocal about disagreeing with.

“I’m kind of frustrated,” Selleck told TV Insider at the time. “My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go.”

As Globe previously reported, Selleck felt extra betrayed when former costar Donnie Wahlberg scored a spinoff, Boston Blue.

“There was talk of Donnie helping him land a spot on the spinoff,” the source notes. “But it didn’t go anywhere and Tom’s taken it pretty badly.”

While TV Insider reported this May that the Emmy winner signed on to host, narrate and produce Crime and Justice With Tom Selleck for History Channel, the documentary series does not have a release date yet.

“Tom wants a lot more than that,” admits Globe‘s source, who says it’s alarming just “how low his spirits are” right now. “He’s bored and in a rut, and that’s why he’s stuffing himself with junk.”
