Selleck And Mack’s Ranch Life
Selleck and Mack have spent decades living on a 65-acre ranch in Ventura, California, and they seem to really love it.
“This ranch is a great counterpoint to the acting business, which is an abstraction — you do something, it’s up on a piece of film, and everybody argues whether it’s good or bad,” Selleck said. “You dig a hole and plant an oak tree — and I’ve probably planted a thousand of them — it’s real. It’s there, and you can watch it grow. It’s a lot different from being famous, and it keeps me sane.”
“I get up before Jillie and put on the teakettle, so when she gets up, her tea water is hot,” he added in another interview. “I think I’m pretty romantic.”
