Tom is and always was a class act. I lost my dad when I was 14 in '84. We always watched MPI together, and those guys served as role models to me after my Dad passed away. In the only letter I ever wrote to a celebrity, I told Tom of this. I must have been in my late 30s at the time. Much to my surprise he wrote me a very kind note back, and sent an autographed photo of himself as TM. Class all the way.
Wow, what a stand up guy. Where did you find out where to write him?
@@jondaugustine9072 this was many years ago. I believe someone posted an address for his management company on the Magnum-Mania site. But as I said, this was years ago.
Great show. Back when TV was entertaining. Magnum Higgins Rick etc yeah felt like they I knew them.
What a nice story. Thanks for sharing it.
Very cool story man. I lost my Dad Young too, and this show really brings back memories
One of most manliest man ever
My mother saw Tom Selleck at a hotel in NYC back in 1989. She said that in person Tom Selleck was absolutely beautiful. 6'4 perfect face, beautiful smile and a perfect body build. She said she just stared at him and he looked at her and smiled. She still mentions it when i ask her what actors were actually good looking IN PERSON back in the 80's and 90's.
Lucky her! I live in NYC my whole life and haven't bumped into any real good looking actors.
@@lmc2664 I bumped into Liberace and Red Buttons once.
Magnum PI was the best show ever. Tom has always been a class act, so rare with today’s narcissistic stars...
Coached by James Garner.
Who ironically did his own driving stunts.
The studio insisted he stop and let a professional stunt driver do it for the reasons outlined by Tom Selleck in the interview, but eventually agreed that Garner was a better driver!
Still as humble and down to earth today as he was then. A true gentleman.
I wish to know his family. Good values are learned from other doing them.
Now THIS is a real man.
he is so modest!!! Amazing person
An extremely handsome man
Now I know why this man has always been such an inspiration. He is the epitome of real cool. That is what you call a real man. Thanks Mr Selleck.
noooo it was not just the car. we loved everything about magnum pi. the car, the dogs, the shorts, the cigar, the jokes, the car chases, the Hawaiin shirts. and especially the mustache.
“You can say no, and your friends will
still like you.”
Now that’s a true golden nugget of advice. Thank you Tom. ♥️
Tom selleck is a man in full. There are very few like him.
That wasn't true in my case.
@@seaor2k122 mmm. :/ Only being liked for saying yes is draining. Better to set boundaries and let the false friends dislike you for it. Truly you’ll open up space to attract in respectful friends who aren’t only using you for your yes. We each have our path to walk. Nobody can honestly dislike you for committing to your health & wealth if they’re your true friend. Remember that you deserve friends that are truly friends.
@@rryan844 Thank You!
I had a nice surprise in the early 1980's, I got to meet Tom Selleck and John Hillerman (Higgins). John was such a wonderful sweet guy and Tom was very nice, but more on the quiet side.
Yes not only is Tom a nice guy and fine actor, he s extremely generous. He shared his success with the other 3 co stars of MAGNUM PI. He promised them if the show became a hit, he would buy them all a gift.. a porsche each!.. and he did. When Magnum ended in 1988 he also bought rolex watches for the cast and crew as a thank you. He went all over Honolulu and paid the shop price as he wanted the money to go back into Hawaii.
He's genuine. And he stayed with his wife... I love him.
Doesn’t necessarily mean that he was faithful to her, especially when he was younger.
I’ve interviewed many older couples where the wives said that infidelity was something that was to be ignored and pretended to not happen because “that’s just what you did back then.”
@@sarcasticallyrearranged true but this man seems to have a brain. i think he was faithful.
As others have said, Tom Selleck is a class act. Great actor in all of his TV shows and films.
Much loved!
He's so gracious and a class act. What a great public service announcement this would make as well.
Love watching Tom Selleck
The one and ONLY Magnum P.I.
I just love Tom Selleck, his voice is so sexy and he is so comfortable and does not act rude or have the attitude of being stuck on himself. As many actors and actress get really high on their self and truly act stupid. NOT, Tom Selleck is a man like all men should be.
He was great on the Rockford Files!
The Rockford Files star was James Garner. Not Tom Selleck.
@@lisamarieashby2523 Duh Tom was in three episodes on The Rockford Files
Lance White.
Tom is a class act all though life.
Thanks so much for making this public. It's such a treat!
Magnum pi watch it 1000 times very cool show
God bless you Tom. RIP Leta Powell Drake (March 10, 1938 - September 15, 2021) too. I've read a very inspiring interesting testimony from Tom Selleck of his personal faith and life in Jesus Christ.
He seems like a very kind man.
What a great candid interview. Sincere questions and answers. Not like the typical Hollywood interviews. Thanks for the video.
Loved Tom when I was little and am still in love with swift now 😂😂😂
My all time favourite show and actor..A great, down to Earth guy too..
I ran in into Mr. Selleck at the trap/skeet shooting range & gunstore in Rosemead, California several times in the late 1990’s. He’s the real deal nice guy, treated everyone with courtesy & respect and a smile & friendly word to all. The man had some beautiful firearms.
I love Tom.Sellleck ❤ Magnum best show ever hottest man ever!... they dont make men like that anymore ! You are my wall paper on my phone now in 2020 !!!❤💋💋💋 lots of love 🥰🥰🥰
SO TRUE
How can I get a Magnum wallpaper to use on my phone or tablet? Selleck is still a humble class act in real life and in Bluebloods ❣
@@cynthiahestick3482 just Google magnum take a screen shot !
He was the right choice for Raiders of the Lost Ark
Good man great show loved it
I loved the interview and Tom Selleck, whom I saw in Magnum. Thanks
SO ATTRACTIVE!
what a MEN! I die for him
Go easy on the drinks, yeah?
It's truly tragic that we'll never get that continuation with Magnum and his daughter that was supposed to happen thanks to that thing they're passing off as Magnum now. Sigh. I would've loved to have seen that.
okay he also has an incredible sense of style. he chooses great colours for his complexion and they match very well.
That watch is bad ass.
He’s such a masculine man. So elegant and classy. I love that he’s a wonderful family man too.
OMG !!! TOM SELLECK !!!
Him and Sam Elliott always mesmerized me with their rugget looks and those mustaches ... oooooh la la !
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗💋💋💋💋💋☮️☮️☮️
Like him or not.
Technically speaking,and opinions and preference aside..
He checks most boxes.
he still is one of those men that is pretty much the epitome of what most men would want to look like...
I mean personally speaking I remember the first time I saq him in that Chaz commercoal
He's had several successful TV shows.
He's been in films
He exudes masculine con fidence ... without boasting bragging or arrogance .
he's got everything .
Nothing exxaggerated not fake .
he's natural
Low key
Tempered measured
Hes aged well,
he's tall with a seller .stache....
What else can you say about him?
Classiest handsome humble actor
He started out in commercials as an athlete as he could dunk a basketball ball both right- and left-handed.
He really is a classy dude.
Crikey, I was only 6 years old when this was done lol
As an adult, I can say, gee he was yummy, still is really. :)
Lovely man
I was 6 years old too :)
Miss him and the guys, the new mag P.I. sucks
Refuse to watch the new one...there's only one Thomas Magnum.
Hi Tom ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I loved Magnum. Tom was class in it. He is a charmer. Absolutely loved his car, and those dogs too. Tom is one handsome devil. Amazing to think he is 76 now. He doesnt look anywhere close to it. The guy who plays his father in Blue Bloods is 81yrs old. Lol only 5yrs older in real life. Shame Toms charm didnt seem to work quite as well on the big screen altho Quigley Down Under was great. I think he would have made a great Indiana Jones(altho Harrison was perfect for it) if he had gotten that part.
She just died a month ago at 83 y/o and Tom Selleck is now 76 years old.
This woman is a certified lunatic. I love her.
Obviously they know each other
Quel gentleman
The watch thing from the dad is also in the show to a certain degree
Cassidy Menard so was the Father teaching the Boy to be a Man true in both the show and real life.
The most handsome moustached actor of all time
Sexiest man ever. Ugh, I just love him.
He seems tired in this. He’s a legend. I have it in good authority his moustache is on the periodic table.
Yeah it is, it's called 'selleckmoustachium' 🤣🤣
Even his manspreading is gentlemanly. I wouldn't able to resist him. She has extraordinary restraint.
MAGNUM PI was interesting, but I think Selleck's real forte was in westerns. Big and rugged looking, he was a natural.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼😎
Who the the Dickens is the interviewer, poor Tom! But onto Tom, great guy, always loved Magnum!
Came here from twitter....she's now viral as we say it in 2020 😂
Authenticity
He just is Magnum in this interview
He would have been a great Indiana Jones
If Ellen DeGeneres's show goes under, just think of how many people she put out of work without thinking about her actions!
What in the world does this have to do with this interview? Lol
A early 80s Tom Selleck, John Erik Hexum and a mid 70s Schwarzenegger… yes please?
He became a big Rolex fan. Nice 18K GMT Master Tom.
It's not your car, it's Robin's car.
A man’s man. And the women like him as well
Only 36 here ! Looked closer to 49 by today's standards
4 shows is not enough time!!! need at least 10. a full storyline.
Terrible interviewer...saved by a gracious and patient guest.
So manlie man!
1981 is not 6 years!
So handsome, but where did he get all those lines from if he didn't drink or smoke? Must've been the sun.
John Smith god answer
Look at him now on Blue Bloods he looks younger than his 72 years he looks fine here just forgot to go to make up before the interview I remember all the broads were crazy about him back in the 80s and he was in his thirties during this interview and looks just fine
it was the sun. he was quite wrinkled.
They're dimples and laugh lines.
Its genetic. My boyfriend is about 36 and he has the same kind of wrinkles etc. He looks a lot like Tom Selleck too haha... but I'm in my 40s and l look like in 20s and he is younger than me but looks more mature
He's now a Reagan.
Ma quanto era figo?!
The host is too close to Selleck. His body language seems to say that she should back off a bit. Can't say I blame her but it is still very rude.
Thanks Pat for your unending love and support you have constantly shown me. I can’t appreciate the unconditional love I have gotten from you the fans, I’m forever grateful. Where are you watching from?
This Interviewer needs to sit back in her chair and not be in these people's faces.
Indiana Jones was a complete piece of shit, but it would've been fun if they'd had Tom Selleck turn up as Indiana Jone's brother.
About as good looking as they come..
I’m a straight guy and I wanna marry him 😆🔥
4:14 jesus christ 🤤
But was he gay or not?!
???
Looks a little drunk.
how did she keep her job? she so bad....
