David Boreanaz Reveals Betty White NSFW Comment on Bones Set

At the Bones: 20th Anniversary Retrospective panel held during the inaugural Televerse Festival, David Boreanaz revealed a memorable and NSFW moment involving Betty White during her guest appearance on the show. White, who played Dr. Beth Mayer in two episodes, greeted the cast with warmth but surprised Boreanaz by directly expressing a bold attraction toward him, saying, 'Holy s***, I want to f**k you.' Emily Deschanel, who co-starred on the show, did not recall hearing this comment but acknowledged White's legendary humor and candidness. White's appearances on Bones in Seasons 11 and 12 were among her final acting roles before her death in 2021. The show, which ran for 12 seasons, followed Deschanel’s character Dr. Temperance Brennan and Boreanaz’s FBI agent Seeley Booth solving crimes together. After Bones concluded, Boreanaz continued his acting career on CBS’s SEAL Team, while Deschanel expanded her work in television and launched a Bones rewatch podcast in 2024.
