A Turning Point
Selleck said that turning 70 was a turning point in his life. Apparently, it was the first time that he felt like a true grown man – that is, ever since his father passed away. “I had had a lot of leadership positions, I had been in the military. But you know, in my case, when my father died, I said, ‘There’s nobody to go to for fatherly advice. You’re on your own, pal’,” Selleck admitted.

Speaking of epiphanies, Selleck has recently revealed why he quit Magnum, saying that the fame got to be a bit much. “I quit Magnum, not because I didn’t like it or I was tired of it… I was tired from it.”
