Tom Selleck was probably used to the fact that crazy amounts of people wished to be and/or be with him. Thus, it probably wasn’t a surprise either that the legend was given recognition for his undeniably dashing looks as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world in People Magazine.
The other beautiful male celebrities on this list were Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt, Sean Connery, and Denzel Washington.
Hawaii Five-O
If you’re a "Hawaii Five-O" fan, you’ll probably notice that Steve McGarrett, the starring character, was actually in the same world as Thomas Magnum.
Apparently, the fictional elite state police unit that appeared on the "Hawaii Five-O" series actually existed in the "Magnum P.I." universe, too! What a subtle merge of two iconic worlds.
Spin-Off With Erin Gray
Honolulu-born Erin Gray was featured in the highly praised Season 1 Episode “J. Digger Doyle” as an attempt in becoming the pilot for a spin-off series starring Gray as Joy Digger Doyle, the main character.
The plans never pushed through and the studios ended up receiving strings of complaints from viewers who were dying to see more of Gray’s character.
Faking It
Though the character of Higgins had an iconic British accent, John Hillerman was actually originally from Texas! It took a good amount of research and studies of Lawrence Olivier’s performances to perfect a convincing British accent.
His character was actually also featured on Simon & Simon and Murder, She Wrote, two other hit television shows.
Mustache Please
"Magnum P.I." was filled with characters that sported the iconic and fashionable mustache look, yet Larry Manetti was the only member of the regular cast who was left off the trend.
Orville Wright, the role played by Manetti, also probably felt considerably left out as he was hilariously seen with a pencil mustache in an episode titled ‘Dream a Little Dream.’
