David Boreanaz has worked with countless Hollywood legends, but one unforgettable moment still stands out — and it involves none other than Betty White. The Bones star recently recalled their first encounter, admitting he was completely caught off guard when the beloved TV icon greeted him with a boldly risqué remark he never saw coming.
According to Boreanaz, the comment was sharp, playful, and delivered with Betty White’s signature timing — instantly shattering any expectation that she was the sweet, innocent grandmother figure audiences adored. Instead, he found himself stunned, laughing, and suddenly aware that White’s legendary wit came with an unapologetically naughty edge.

The moment, he says, perfectly captured who Betty White really was behind the scenes: fearless, hilarious, and completely unfiltered. While the comment was shocking, it also set the tone for mutual respect and instant chemistry — proving that White was always several steps ahead of everyone else in the room.
For fans of Bones and classic television alike, the story is a reminder that Betty White’s legacy wasn’t just about kindness and charm — it was about owning her humor, her confidence, and her ability to shock even Hollywood veterans like David Boreanaz.
