There’s no need to introduce Tom Selleck. The 78-year-old actor has spent decades dazzling us in the entertainment industry, and despite a few recent health hiccups, he shows no signs of retiring soon. You probably recognize him from his work on the popular TV series Blue Bloods.

We all know and love Selleck for his distinctive look. But brace yourselves: the legendary mustache is gone, and fans are in utter shock.

You may not know that Tom Selleck’s journey to Hollywood wasn’t always a given. Born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 29, 1945, his family later moved to California, settling in the San Fernando Valley.

Now, in a surprising twist, Tom Selleck is growing out a full beard. Yes, you read that right, folks—a beard!

On September 25, the man himself was spotted in the San Fernando Valley, sporting a beard that makes him look almost unrecognizable. Apparently, he ditched the razor for fall.

Pictured on his rare outing, the champion of the mustachioed community looked rugged with a full beard but kept a hint of his signature mustache. Catch him running errands in his silver pickup truck, wearing a dark blue T-shirt with zest, and owning that gray hair.

Since the 1960s, Selleck’s roles in Three Men and a Little Lady, The Closer, Las Vegas, his stint as Dr. Richard Burke on Friends, and of course, Blue Bloods, Selleck’s mustache has been his trusty sidekick. And now, behold the transformation!
