Tom Selleck has spoken openly about the possibility of losing his beloved California ranch following the cancellation of Blue blood – and a source says the possibility of going to 2025 is weighing heavily on him as he desperately tries to figure out his next career move.

“Tom has made a fortune over the years, but he insists his bank balance is nowhere near what people might think,” an insider tells Closer exclusively. “And the cost of running a 63 acre farm as a hobby is huge, he’s a sensible guy, he doesn’t want to burn through all his money when he thinks he’s spending as much money as he needs to bring in.” sizable paycheck or it just doesn’t make sense.”

Tom, who turns 80 on January 29, currently lives on the ranch with his wife of 37 years. Jillie Mack.

“He certainly doesn’t want to downsize, but it looks like it will happen sooner than he would like, especially because his health is also an issue. He doesn’t do the work on the farm himself, but it still takes a lot of energy to get it all done,” the source adds. “He is very attached to his farm and if he actually decides to sell it it would be pretty devastating for him. He’s in his 80s, but he has no desire to just give up everything and retire.”

In May, Tom said he feared he would lose his ranch property as the fate of Blue Bloods was still uncertain.

“You know, hopefully I keep working enough to keep the spot,” he said during a Sunday morning appearance on CBS.

Host Tracy Smith asked: “Seriously, this is a problem? What if you stop working?”

“That’s always a problem,” he said Magnum, P.I replied the actor. “If I stopped working, yes. Am I ready for life? Yes, but maybe not on a 150-acre ranch!”

Since the interview aired, CBS has confirmed this Blue blood would officially end after 14 seasons on the network. The series finale of the show is set for December 13th, much to the dismay of fans and cast members.

During an interview with TV Insider in October, Tom expressed his frustration with the show’s ending.

“I’m kind of frustrated. “During these last eight shows, I didn’t want to talk about Blue Bloods ending, but about how it’s still a huge success,” he told the outlet.

“My frustration is that the show has always been taken for granted because it worked right from the start. How do I feel? It’s going to take a long time to sort this all out,” the Emmy winner added. “I remember after the weekend (shooting the final episode) I said, ‘I have to go to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.’ Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while.”

Although many are still hoping for their favorite Blue blood Although the characters will return in a possible spin-off, CBS has not yet made any official announcements regarding the continuation of the franchise.
