Fans Are Campaigning Donnie Wahlberg For Sexiest Man Alive, And The Blue Bloods Star's Response Hilariously Threw Tom Selleck's Name Into The Convo

As a long-time Blue Bloods enthusiast who’s followed the Reagan family through thick and thin for 14 seasons, I must admit that this upcoming finale feels bittersweet. The thought of saying goodbye to these beloved characters is tough, but the camaraderie between the cast members off-screen makes it a tad easier to stomach.


Fans have been fighting to save “Blue Bloods” from TV cancellation since they learned it was ending its 14-year run on CBS in fall 2024. However, their efforts don’t stop there. As we approach the airing of Season 14 episodes, fans are also advocating for Donnie Wahlberg to win People’s Sexiest Man Alive title. Interestingly, Wahlberg, who plays Danny Reagan on the show, has acknowledged this wave of affection, humorously involving his co-star Tom Selleck in the discussion.

The final episodes of Blue Bloods are set to kick off on October 18, and just a few weeks after that, People magazine will announce its readers’ pick for Sexiest Man Alive 2024. Fans apparently mocked up a magazine cover as if the New Kids on the Block singer had been picked, and Donnie Wahlberg shared his appreciation on Instagram Stories, where he gave his thoughts on who he thinks really deserves the honor. Wahlberg wrote:

Appreciate it so much! You’re incredibly generous. However, I’d rather be referred to as “The Lucky or Happy Man Among People.” I’d bestow the title of ‘Sexy’ upon either Tom Selleck or John Knight.

In a genuine and heartfelt manner, it’s clear that Donnie Wahlberg values his happiness and good fortune more than his sex appeal. However, public perception is powerful, and people have expressed their viewpoint about him being fortunate or happy rather than sexy.

Although he sometimes makes wise decisions, it’s worth mentioning that his New Kids on the Block bandmate, Jonathan Knight, has been nominated for “Sexiest ‘Handyman'”, an honor that recognizes his work on the TV show called Farmhouse Fixer on HGTV.

Tom Selleck, for many years, has been recognized as one of Hollywood’s most attractive men, boasting one of the finest mustaches ever seen on TV. This reputation makes it unlikely that his name on a ballot would raise any doubtful eyebrows. It’s amusing to note that Donnie Wahlberg put Tom Selleck’s name forward in a political context, and even if the real-life Reagan men don’t make an appearance in People magazine come November, they will continue to be highly admired by fans who are eagerly watching their last episodes of Blue Bloods.

Over the years, many people have greatly enjoyed watching Danny Reagan, one of TV’s shrewdest detectives, along with his intriguing relationships. This includes his professional bond with New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, as well as his sister, Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan (played by Bridget Moynahan), and other members of the Reagan family. Donnie Wahlberg and Moynahan appear to have developed a close friendship off-screen, emulating a real-life sibling dynamic.

The termination of the show has been tough even for its main actors, with Tom Selleck openly expressing his dissatisfaction and maintaining optimism that CBS could reconsider their decision. Donnie Wahlberg hinted at potential future projects as well. We’d be more than happy to join in on any Reagan family gatherings they might prepare.

Fans of Blue Bloods won’t find Donnie Wahlberg or Tom Selleck among People’s sexiest men, but they’re more than adequate for the show, and we’ll be eagerly watching them during the last eight episodes of the series. The final eight episodes of Blue Bloods Season 14 kick off at 10 p.m. ET on Friday, October 18th, on CBS. All previous episodes can be streamed with a Paramount+ subscription.
