Betty White's Bold 'F**k' Remark to Bones Co-Star Shocks Fans
The Sassy Side of Hollywood Icon Betty White: A Juicy Reveal from Bones Co-Star David Boreanaz
In a shocking revelation that's left fans talking, David Boreanaz, star of the hit crime drama series Bones, has shared a tantalizing tale about his time working with the incomparable Betty White. The 99-year-old comedy legend, who sadly passed away in December 2021, was known for her quick wit and sharp tongue – but this particular anecdote takes the cake.
According to Boreanaz, who appeared on a panel at the Televerse Festival over the weekend, White's infamous "potty mouth" made its presence known when she first arrived on set in 2015. The actor recalled how White would greet everyone with her signature charm before zeroing in on him and making a comment that left him laughing. "She said to me, 'Holy st, I want to fk you!'" Boreanaz revealed, chuckling at the memory.
While some might raise an eyebrow at White's bold statement, Boreanaz took it in stride, responding with good humor. However, his co-star Emily Deschanel seemed a bit perplexed by the revelation, stating that she didn't recall the incident – but praised White for her "legendary" reputation as a straight shooter.
Fellow cast member Tamara Taylor corroborated Deschanel's sentiments, confirming that White was indeed known for her "fearless" attitude and unapologetic language. T.J. Thyne, another Bones alum, chipped in with his own assessment of White, describing her as "a little troublemaker" who always kept things interesting on set.
White joined the Bones cast in season 11 (2015) as Dr. Beth Mayer, a role she reprised two years later in season 12. Her presence was met with critical acclaim and enthusiasm from fans, who adored her sassy, no-nonsense attitude.
As one of the most iconic figures in television history, White's eight-decade-long career boasted an impressive array of credits – including multiple Emmy Awards (eight) and nominations (21). She even held the Guinness Record for Longest TV Career for a Female Entertainer!
But don't let her advanced age fool you – White was still sizzling hot when she joined the Bones cast. And, according to Boreanaz, her spark wasn't lost on him either.
When asked about his experience working with White, Boreanaz couldn't help but laugh at her boldness. "I just started laughing," he said, shaking his head in amusement. It's clear that White left a lasting impression on the actor and his colleagues alike.
In related news, Emily Deschanel has been rewatching old episodes of Bones with co-star Carla Gallo for their new podcast, Boneheads. The actress confessed that revisiting some of the show's oldest episodes was like experiencing them for the first time all over again – a testament to the series' enduring appeal.
"It's been really interesting to see the show because all of them I hadn't watched for 20 years basically," Deschanel shared with People. "And then there's a couple so far that I hadn't seen yet, I don't think. So it's interesting to look back and see like, 'What did we do?' And I guess one takeaway is, hey, it was pretty solid. The show is pretty solid."
Bones, which aired between 2005 and 2017, accumulated a devoted fan base and earned two Primetime Emmy nominations in 2009 and 2012.
