Bleary-eyed Tom Selleck pigged out on McDonald's right after a gym session near his ranch – as concerns mount about the Blue Blood star's grim new schtick.
Once known for his slick hair and suave mustache, the disheveled 81-year-old raised eyebrows as he embraced his washed-up new look for the lonely fast food outing.
The Blue Bloods and Magnum: PI alum was spotted heading straight from his fitness center in Thousands Oaks, California, to the Golden Arches to feast on his guilty pleasure on Monday afternoon.
At one point, exhausted-looking Selleck – who was sporting huge dark circles under his eyes – could be seen burying his head in his hands at a stop light before inching his way into the drive-thru.
He chowed down on his go-to order of a burger, fries and Coke in the comfort of the parking lot before then heading back home to his nearby $12million avocado ranch.
Sporting bruises on his hands and at least one black fingernail, the concerning sighting was a far cry from the iconic heartthrob that graced TV screens just a few years back.

Ever since his beloved Blue Bloods series was axed two years ago, fears have mounted about Selleck's ballooning weight.
Selleck, who starred as NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in the hit drama for 14 years before it was scrapped, has slowed down considerably in recent years and has developed a noticeable limp.
The down-in-the-dumps screen legend, who has steered clear of Hollywood since his show was abruptly canned, has also made a habit of feasting on his guilty pleasure post-retirement.
His wife, Jillie Mack, 68, is rarely seen with him when he steps out to run errands, hit up the gym and pop by the drive-thru.
For the most part, the one-time leading man has largely been holed up at his idyllic 63-acre estate, which he snapped up for $5million from crooner Dean Martin back in 1988.
His growing girth came soon after news of Blue Bloods' cancellation came to light and its last episode aired in December 2024 – leaving the star heartbroken.

'My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go,' Selleck told TV Insider in 2024.
'I'm not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, "Get off my lawn!" I don't believe in holding grudges, but if you were to say to the television network, "Here's a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years," it would be almost impossible to believe.'
'So how do I feel? It's going to take a long time to sort all of this out.'
Still, months after the show finished, insiders said Selleck was still so 'livid' that he was potentially weighing taking legal action against CBS for 'ageism'.

Selleck's most memorable role is private investigator Thomas Magnum in the 1980s hit series Magnum P.I.
'He is absolutely livid about it, especially as ratings were strong when it was canceled.'
It is unclear if Selleck plans to make a comeback but his IMDB indicates he has an upcoming role in an 'Untitled Jesse Stone Project' for the Hallmark Channel.
He is also slated to host a History Channel documentary titled Crime and Justice With Tom Selleck, TV Insider reported.
The 10-episode series will delve into top true crime stories from American history but it is unclear when it will air.
