Tom Selleck is growing out his beard for the fall.
The “Blue Bloods” actor, 78, looked nearly unrecognizable as he was spotted on a rare outing in the San Fernando Valley in California on Sept. 25.
The “Magnum, P.I.” star kept his trademark mustache somewhat intact, but added on a full beard for a scruffier look. He styled his gray hair in a comb-over and wore a dark blue T-shirt as he drove his silver pickup truck to run errands solo.
Selleck has been sporting his famous ‘stache for years, from his early projects in the 1960s to “Three Men and a Little Lady,” “The Closer,” “Las Vegas,” his stint on “Friends” as Dr. Richard Burke and his latest years-long work on “Blue Bloods.”
Selleck has been starring as Frank Reagan on the CBS drama since 2010, and has more than 250 episodes under his belt.
Last year, he opened up about his future on the show during an interview with TV Insider.
“Bridget [Moynahan] says making it to 15 seasons would be lovely. You in?” the outlet asked him at the time.
He quipped in response: “I’ve got a mortgage. I’m game!”
“Blue Bloods,” which also stars Donnie Wahlberg and Will Estes, was officially renewed for Season 14 in March. However, no official announcement has been made on when production will get picked back up as the writers’ strike and actors’ strike in Hollywood began shortly after the news.
Earlier this week, the Writers Guild of America officially reached a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, but the SAG-AFTRA strike negotiations are still ongoing.
