For decades, millions of viewers felt as though they knew Tom Selleck.<\/p>\n

They knew the mustache. They knew Thomas Magnum. Later, they knew him as Frank Reagan on\u00a0Blue Bloods<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But the man behind those characters remained remarkably private.<\/p>\n

When Selleck finally sat down to tell his own story in his memoir\u00a0You Never Know<\/em>, he admitted that opening that door wasn\u2019t easy. He had spent much of his career carefully separating the public star from the private man.<\/p>\n

And there was plenty fans never knew.<\/p>\n

Long before\u00a0Magnum, P.I.<\/em>\u00a0made him a household name, Selleck endured years of disappointment. His career was filled with unsuccessful pilots and small opportunities, and he didn\u2019t become a major television star until he was in his 30s.<\/p>\n

Even after fame arrived, something about Hollywood never completely suited him.<\/p>\n

Selleck eventually realized that protecting his life away from the cameras mattered more than constantly chasing the next level of celebrity.<\/p>\n

In 1988, as\u00a0Magnum, P.I.<\/em>\u00a0came to an end, he bought a ranch in California and built a quieter existence with his wife, Jillie Mack, and their family.<\/p>\n

The ranch became more than a home.<\/p>\n

It became his escape.<\/p>\n

Selleck has described his family, relationships and life on the land as the things that kept him grounded while Hollywood continued moving around him.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why writing his memoir was such a departure.<\/p>\n

Selleck acknowledged that telling his story meant revealing private things he\u2019d rarely discussed before. But even then, he drew a line. He didn\u2019t want to settle old scores or expose other people simply to make his book more sensational.<\/p>\n

Perhaps that explains why fans have always sensed there was more to Tom Selleck than what appeared on television.<\/p>\n

Behind one of Hollywood\u2019s most recognizable faces was a man who spent decades trying to hold on to something fame can easily take away:<\/p>\n

a life that still belonged to him.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
