Selleck admitted that the first time in a while that he truly felt he was a grown man was when he celebrated his 70th birthday. The only other moment he felt the same way was when his father died in 2011. “I had had a lot of leadership positions,” Selleck explained, “I had been in the military… but you know, in my case, when my father died, I go, ‘There’s nobody to go to for fatherly advice. You’re on your own, pal’.”

More offers would soon follow and his fan base continued to grow. And as we know now, he was able to become a successful artist in Hollywood!
