Tom Selleck Reveals He's Never Sent a Text or Email

Tom Selleck, the man, the mustache, the legend, has been gracing our screens for 50 years. But did you know he's never sent an email or text? Yeah, you read that right. In a recent interview with People Magazine, Selleck, while promoting his new memoir, You Never Know, dropped this bombshell.

From Magnum P.I. to No Email: Selleck's Surprising Confession

The Blue Bloods star, 79, admits he's barely connected to technology.

"Occasionally I’ve looked up my name,” he says. “That started really with the book, but I’ve never sent my own email. I had a secretary. I’ve never texted anybody.” It's like something straight out of a sitcom!

So, how does he communicate? His wife, Jillie, handles the texting for him. “I have a certain luxury where I probably couldn’t survive otherwise,” Selleck jokes. It's a pretty sweet deal, if you ask me.

From The Young and the Restless to Blue Bloods: An Accidental Journey

Selleck's memoir, You Never Know, delves into his “accidental career,” from his early days on The Young and the Restless to his iconic role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I. He also shares stories from his childhood and other notable projects like Friends , Three Men and a Baby, and Las Vegas.

Selleck doesn't see himself as someone "bitten by the acting bug," but rather as someone who simply wanted to work hard. "I don’t have the hooks that a lot of people do,” he explains. “I didn’t rehabilitate myself or have this tragic life. I had my own share of certainly ups and downs, but I’ve been very fortunate.”

When he's not on set, Selleck enjoys the simple things: spending time on his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California, and watching the wildflowers bloom.

Industry Advice: Get an Appetite (But Not the Bug?)

Selleck offers some advice for aspiring actors:

“If you’re going to get in the acting business, you better get an appetite for it,” he says.

This seems a bit contradictory to his earlier statement about not being "bitten by the bug," but hey, who are we to judge?

Final Thoughts: Contradictions and Blooming Flowers

The whole interview is a bit of a head-scratcher. He wasn't bitten by the acting bug, but you need an appetite for it? It's like saying you don't like pizza, but you can eat a whole pie. And the image of Selleck just chilling, watching flowers bloom? Pure gold. Maybe he's got a secret watering technique we don't know about. We'll just have to read the book to find out!
