Funny this thread has been posted. I have no issues with him but every time we see his commercial I think 'what does he know about needing money'...lol. Can't remember word for word what the ad says but something along the line of him needing money and reverse mortgaging his house

Because Jayhawk, has become a bigger pot stirrer than Blue one. And it is very possible Tom Selleck, is about to file a restraining order against Blueone.

Now that s funny!
 
I always wonder about the washed up actors that hock products or schemes. You would think with what they get paid acting, they would not need to do cheesy commercials to earn a living. My guess is that many of them just live way outside of their means or got taken advantage of by managers and advisors and were financially ruined. They are actors after all probably few actually have more than a high school education. Tom has to be making decent money staring on Blue Bloods. I hate anyone though that is advising folks to borrow money.

I thought it would be a cool subject to discuss, that is all. So much hatred for a guy who has never personally done anything to you. It really reminds me of those who have vile hatred for Trump. Trump never did anything personal to them, they just hate him.
Me personally, I can only think of 3 people on Gods green earth that I hate, that i truly hate, because of what they did to me or my family. I would never invest energy into hating someone that I dont know.

Ok so you like the old Selleck stuff and thought it would nice to discuss it, I get it, it's a subject. So as a kid I really liked Magnum PI and Quigley down under movie was pretty good I thought. But pretty much after that it was over, I mean I know he has a lot of movies, but he basically sucks from my point of view. Not sure how you feel about them, but that's me. I'm a much bigger SiFi guy.

I never watched Magnum PI or any of his old stuff, We watched the Jesse Stone movies during the early part of covid, and enjoyed them, not great movies by any means, but they were just pretty clean and easy to watch. My dad mentioned that he really enjoyed Blue Bloods, I had never watched, so my wife and I recorded it and watched it from beginning to end.
Now I need to mention, my wife absolutely hates cussing, especially the fbomb. So that does affect the direction of our tv and movie viewing, towards more clean stuff. For instance we are now watching a series called heartland, It seems to be geared toward junior high girls, but she enjoys it, so I dutifully watch.
 
I Hope @Blueone realizes that Tom didnt invent the reverse mortgage, and doesnt administer the plans. I would think his hatred would be better placed at the banks that developed this scheme.
I have never seen one of these commercials, I didnt even realize the Tom advertised for them until blue mentioned it in another thread.
I hope no one thinks I think that reverse mortgages are a sound plan, I only know of 1 person (my next door neighbor) who has done it, and it allowed her to stay in her home a good 15 years after the mortgage until her death, she would have never been able to do that otherwise. The bank is going to take a beating on this one, it is going up for sheriffs auction before long, the sheriff texted me friday and told me they are finally starting the process. Some of her extended family moved into the house towards the end of her life and have trashed the place, I am considering buying it, turn it into a rental so I can control who lives there.

So I think you are going a bit over board on this. I definitely don't "HATE" anyone for what they do off screen. Think they are an asshat? Definitely. I don't need to like the person playing a part in a movie to like the movie. Point in case is Tom Cruise, I love pretty much all of his movies, but not him personally.

Mentioning Trump in a thread about Selleck is not the same thing. One changes your life and the other doesn't. I will say this as well, anything that leads to cancel culture or wokeness that does not lead to equality is what I hate, along with the current administration and those like them.
