Sylvester Stallone and Tom Selleck are just one of the few names that have cemented a strong legacy in the cinematic world.

Not only that, his acting prowess further proves the nuanced performances he brings on-screen. In a Telegraph interview, he reflected on the impact of working in action movies, which has affected his health. He shared, 
“Yeah, aside from being an old guy. If you do action movies all your life, you get a lot of aches and pains.”
He continued, 
“This knee is new, this hip… but it’s a miracle you can even do anything about it.”

This is not the first time when the actor dropped a little update about his health as he stated something similar back in 2014. In a GQ interview, the Blue Bloods actor revealed that his back was “kind of messed up,” before revealing the reason behind the same. 
“When you do stunts in movies—I do a lot of them—you’re taking a risk, but you’re also sitting around a lot…You just see the price of stunts. They weren’t that hard, but I think it’s the stop-and-go of all that stuff.”
Selleck’s hardships are quite common in the world of action and adventure as Sylvester Stallone also faced similar hardships, that took a toll on his health.

The incident left him with dislocated shoulders and a fractured neck that required seven back surgeries, a metal plate inserted into his neck, and spinal fusions. He admitted that he “never” recovered from that incident, before warning others not to do their own stunts.
