The Hollywood stars Tom Selleck and Ted Danson are finally addressing an old urban legend from the set of their classic 1987 movie Three Men And A Baby.
Fans, the truth has finally been revealed!
Three Men And A Baby Urban Legend
Selleck and Danson starred in this beloved film alongside Steve Guttenberg. It told the story of three bachelors living in New York City as they try to navigate raising a baby girl that was dropped off outside of their apartment along with a note claiming that Danson’s character of Jack was her father.
Rumors have swirled for years that a little boy died in the loft where the three main characters lived, and a ghost has haunted it ever since. This urban legend stemmed from a scene in which viewers can see a figure that appears to be a boy standing between the sheer curtains while Jack talks to his mother.
Selleck And Danson Set The Record Straight
This week, Selleck appeared on an episode of Danson’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast. It didn’t take long for the two old friends to address the ghost rumors.
“You must get this a lot, I get it a little, but what—the ghost thing—have you been asked that everywhere you go?” Selleck asked. Danson replied by saying that the theory was “just got crazy.”
“Used to be [asked a lot] yeah, and I’ll have to admit, when you go back and you look at it, you get chills, it’s a little spooky,” Danson continued.
Selleck was quick to agree.
“Well you were playing, as I recall, a vain actor—I don’t know where they got that concept for an actor—I think you had posters of yourself all over,” the Blue Bloods star said.

What The ‘Ghost’ Actually Was
Danson chimed back in to explain that the mysterious figure was actually just a life-size cutout.
“Cutouts, also life-size cutouts or short cutouts of me in my commercials,” Danson explained. “And there was one that was about you know six, seven-year-old boy size.”
Danson went on to dash any hopes whatsoever that the urban legend was true. He explained that they didn’t even film the scene in the New York City loft depicted in the film. Instead, they filmed it on a sound stage in Toronto, Canada.
“We shot in Toronto, which is another reason why some kid didn’t die in this building in New York because we shot it—because it was on a sound stage,” the former Cheers star stated.
See if you can spot the “ghost” for yourself at around the :34 second mark in the video below.
