Tom Selleck meets Mae West in 1970

[@CheapOneLiners]

Legend has it that Mae gave Tom his moustache ... and he hasn't taken it off since.

[@MegaAtomium]

Mustache ride!

[@lotharwaltner4058]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Rescue162]

In 1970, Mae West was 77, Tom Selleck 25.

[@ijustdidahugeshit]

I am a qualified lesbian

[@imeanithonest5704]

and he was STILL able to keep up with her???😁😁😁

[@rayarena879]

She was a cougar, before cougars became a thing.

[@KristijanRisteski-zp7bx]

it's called sabertooth by that age@@rayarena879

[@flenif2247]

Mae pioneered the way for Cher and Madonna dating lives

[@FeelinErie]

OMG, I've never seen Tom Selleck without a moustache. HE'S HAWT!!!

[@emilyholasek63]

He's mustache-less in "In & Out"

[@karenx3556]

🤣

[@sarahdee374]

He looks nakid to me!

[@user-D.Woodster]

Make West was 77 then? Damn she looked good then..I do grandma Mae

[@lynettenasseri753]

Mae West was such a unique talent and character. Great with Tom Selleck.

[@brianmoore6306]

Love it...at the end..his jacket was buttoned wrong!

[@JM-lw3nx]

I'm a little tired today - one of those boys will have to go!

[@ROLtheWolf]

Even before the 'stache, Tom had the mojo! Oh. Yeah.

[@Cherryplanter]

Mae West, watta gal! Ya gatta lav her!

[@_Gilles_]

Can't blame her. Tom has always been a snack

[@bhumphries1360]

Honey Bunz

[@hanschristianbrando5588]

Imagine all the people who said at the time, "Okay, he's pretty, but with that whiny voice he'll get nowhere."

[@RobertSmith-qs2gm]

Is that a gun in your pants or are you just glad to see me ? Yes Ma’am , I’m glad to see you. Let’s go to the Romper room 😊

[@Du-Masses]

The studio system in action.

[@mtoffo2275]

That doggie in your profile pic is adorable!

[@alfredbonnabel7022]

Tom was a heart❤️throb...❤

[@iknowheis]

Was?

[@hugoboss5895]

It puts me in mind of Madonna. But may looks 100 times better.

[@saulchapnick1566]

Madonna does not hold a candle to Mae West

[@chesterthawkins7510]

Mae loved gorgeous hunks!

[@johnmanno2052]

I LOVE this scene. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! MYRA BRECKENRIDGE LIVES!

[@bhumphries1360]

Oh my! Love it! Tom, you naughty boy!

[@MP-lq3xx]

think it's more May you naught girl!

[@edwardnashen5960]

Fabulous and was Selkeck ever Gorgeous! Phew!

[@mmurph617]

It's hard to believe that there was a time when Tom Selleck didn't have a mustache.

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

Hahah.... priceless. What an auspicious break for Tom. I'll bet that after MYRA BRECKINRIDGE, he was never without steady work.

[@fundifferent1]

That's a really good 77 for 1970. Normal for 70 year olds to look like that now.

[@JOSEMANUELSEIJASFERNANDE-md2rh]

Yo era un veinteañero cuando Mae era octogenaria, y estaba perdidamente enamorado de ella.

[@patrickvillers6454]

Oh my God Magnum!

[@mjones4083]

Tom Selleck - even more drop dead handsome without his moustache .

[@KarlLaFong-v2q]

He did an interview with Tom Snyder in 1998. He was mustache - less there too. Nice smile.

[@heylynnn1003]

Everything looked young on her but her voice. You can't plastic surgery your voice

[@jeremynv89523]

There wasn't too much plastic surgery available in 1970. Facelifts, mostly.

[@RapRants]

Her voice was a product of it's time and it's partially what made her famous.

[@Someonesaidthis]

If i was May, i’d have every single one of those men, especially young tom selleck ❤

[@platypusbilledduck]

Gross.

[@fob1xxl]

SELLECK ALWAYS LOOKED BETTER WITH A MOUSTACHE!

[@tyrellanderson4722]

Nahhh

[@Canerican.]

He’s so handsome!

[@flenif2247]

Where did all those fine men go?

[@nondescript2892]

to the nearest gay bar

[@EastJazzman]

How weird to think, but we have to remember the legendary stars today at some point were just rookies

[@JOSEMANUELSEIJASFERNANDE-md2rh]

Imposible para ningún hombre( ni ninguna mujer) resistirse a su belleza, a su seducción, a su erotismo.❤❤❤

[@tloco28]

After that encounter Tom's iconic mustache grew in within the hour. Is it me or does Mae kinda look like Bette Midler? I know I just ruined it for most of you. Me too.

[@SHONNER]

I'm trying to find Tom in this clip. Was looking for the moustache.

[@drbonesshow1]

Who wouldn't want to be a handsome a stiff?

[@mtoffo2275]

Young Tom Selleck is a hottie (I mean to be fair he was hot even in Friends)

[@Olivia-no7mi]

Tom Selleck With No Moustache.🥸

[@LexiS-lk8cy]

Is this…is this what the Melissa McCarthy SnL skit based on??? 😂😂😂 i feel like I hit the jackpot with this one

[@michaeldavis1209]

Mae was the Cher of the time.

[@JohnClay-x7x]

Mae’s cadence feels weird in 2024. Hash brown tag me too.

[@tula1433]

Grow a pair 🙄

[@schmedlap]

this is where madonna is headed

[@Cherryplanter]

She should be so lucky!

[@fieldsofgold775]

She had the sensibility of every straight thinking gay man 😂

[@silverstar4289]

She was known to bed the USC. Football team. Rumor is one of the being the future John Wayne

[@lawrencelewis2592]

Nope. You're thinking of Clara Bow.

[@robertotamesis1783]

He was lucky that time he got a job he would have sent to Vietnam. I believe he was national guard reserve?

[@coolfinetime]

1978

[@erinjohnson1124]

No, this isn’t Sextette. It’s Myra Breckinridge from 1970.

[@ytthrowaway4584]

WRONG

[@robertmaynard4265]

OMG

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

I never realised: Her Delivery/Comic style was almost identical to W.C. Fields'!... (Shame she didn't have his wit and material...) 😂

[@lawrencelewis2592]

See the movie, "My Little Chickadee" from 1940. It's not a great film but it's Mae and W.C. banging lines off each other. Well worth seeing!

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

@@lawrencelewis2592 Hey that's a good shout - thanks mate, I'll check that 📽 out... 🙏🏻

[@patnewson6908]

That was Tom Selleck?

[@jankarlsson8341]

25? He could pass for 40 without a problem.

[@mtoffo2275]

Back then a 25 yo was an adult and mostly looked like one, though in part it's also the haircut

[@kennethwayne6857]

A sad 80-year-old lady's fantasy.

[@jdm1505]

By this time she had become a caricature of herself.

[@MrSebboxxx]

she turned Selleck into a gay 🙂

[@PhilAlumb]

To me, Mae West was creepy.

[@davidmarks8318]

She sure was very creepy.

[@lawrencelewis2592]

See here movies from the 1930s. Not creepy.

[@mtoffo2275]

She was funny as hell, but I remember catching this film late at night as a kid with the flu and she did creep me out a little

[@lumberjack297]

That's not Tom Selleck

[@Dede-fx8rn]

Always hated the mustache.

[@harryjones-haroldine]

😂

[@martinnijs8317]

One trick pony......
