Tom Selleck -- Magnum P.I.?

Posted May 18th 2007 1:06PM by TMZ Staff

It seems that the buzz about a possible film version of "Magnum P.I." is news to the original series' 'stashed stud, Tom Selleck.
Magnum PI: click to listen
Selleck went on the air this morning with Los Angeles' STAR 98.7's Valentine & Lisa Foxx and said that he would be more than willing to take on the role again if the script were good -- and if they called him!

Who's being whispered about to play the pretty private dick in a Magnum opus? The buzz is that Ben Affleck is the lead contender. As hot as Ben is, he ain't got what Selleck's got ... a moustache!

16. Ben Afleck is not cute...he is actually really dorky. Tom Selleck is avery attractive man. I'd much more prefer Tom.

18. I LOVE Tom Selleck!! I totally agree with the comments above that if Harrison Ford can reprise Indiana Jones, Tom can CERTAINLY reprise Magnum... (sorry Harrison, but Tom is still HOTTTT!! ) As for the comments above that says he hasn't worked in ages, I beg to disagree.... he has still been a force on television in many miniseries and unbelieveably good westerns..... and he has the grace and professionalism that is lacking is SO MANY of the "popular" actors, musicians and public figures of today. He is a class act.....

19. OMG...Tom Selleck is still effing hot. Leave him alone. He has to be the sexiest guy ever. They don't make classy, charasmatic, masculine guys like this anymore.

20. Magnum PI was a huge show in the 80's because of Tom Selleck. Period. He made the show what is was. Women and men both loved him. We don't need another stupid remake.

21. My friends and I would watch Magnum every Thursday night and just drool at the TV. My god watching him come out of that ocean dripping wet...whew! Sorry, I got carried away. Anyway, Tom Selleck is still smokin hot in my opinion. He has aged extremely well. I think he actually gets better with age. You can't say that about too many celebrities anymore.Go Tom.(love the mustache!)

25. I guess you all missed the four Jesse Stone movies, starring Tom Selleck (Sea Change just aired last week). Too bad, they were really outstanding. He also did several good westerns since 3 Men & a Baby (Last Stand at Saber River, for example). Anyway, he is alive and well, still talented, and I look forward to the nex Jesse Stone movie.

26. Seeing Tom Selleck play Magnum on the big screen would be awesome. I just took a poll on www.80stees.com regarding the best car of the 1980s, one of the choices being Magnum's Ferrari--which I voted for. I also checked out the Magnum P.I. t-shirts as well as other 1980s gear they offer and found myself ordering a few items. WWW.80stees.com is an awesome website! I think all of you will enjoy it!
