Crush on David Boreanaz now official

Jan 29, 2008, 05:29 PM | by Mandi Bierly

Categories: 'Bones', DVD/Video, Inappropriate Crushes, Television

Bones_l The following IM conversation took place at approximately 11 a.m. ET between myself and the totally-happily married Abby West (who writes PopWatch's Bones recaps).

When was the last time you IM'd, emailed, or phoned a friend on a closing day to sanction a crush?

Mandi: dude. i am in love with Boreanaz now.
a little.
i watched the season 2 Bones DVD in 2 days.
i thought i was just into Booth
but then i spent an hour watching Boreanaz interviews on YouTube.
and i kinda heart him now.
that is all.
Abby: you see!!!
told you!!!
I'm not just a boy-crazy spaz.
Mandi: well, let's not jump to THAT conclusion
yet
Abby: um, well, okay. true
but still
Mandi: i think he's going to be one of those men who gets better with age.
he's less beefcake and more MAN
Abby: he's kinda awesome and I will take you down to get to him if ever I need to.

I'll take Booth over Angel any day. He gets better and better with age!

Mary Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 05:43 PM EST

I'm not afraid to admit I had a poster of David on my wall when I was 15 and he was Angel. He's the reason I started watching Bones, which is now my favorite show on TV. I even found that "Angel" is on at 6 am on TNT one early, early morning and got way too excited about it. Yeah, David will always be my TV crush.

Mavis Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 01:50 PM EST

I have been in love with David B since his days on Buffy/Angel and he really does get better with age! His dad is a local weatherman here in Philly and his dad is kinda hot too, so we will have a long wave of salty goodness ahead of us! (Also, the time David surprised his dad on-air during his dad's anniversary at the station made it the best weather segment I ever saw!)

QueenC Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 01:47 PM EST

Just the other day, my friend and I shared our celebrity crushes via IM...
me: i think matthew fox is hot.
S: some men just have it
me: my other tv love is lee pace, of pushing daisies
he's odd
S: yeah I dig him too
very innocent looking
boyish and i like that :)
haha
me: what? we have a similar attraction?

I was a Buffy fan but never really paid much attention to him then. But started seeing the promos for Bones late last year and immediately bought seasons 1 and 2. Hooked. He is beautiful and the cast is spectaular. Agree that they are way underrated. Are you listening Emmy's and Golden Globes? Love, love, love on the show when he wears t-shirt/jeans with that short brown leather jacket.

AB Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 12:59 PM EST

My friend and I watched Buffy and Angel faithfully and we would just live for the episodes where Angel would become evil and David B would rock those leather pants!!! As Cordelia would say, Hello salty goodness!

Ruby Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 12:41 PM EST

I do not watch Bones, but as someone who watched Buffy religiously my love for David is etched in stone. I'll never forget seeing him in the very first episode of Buffy. There's Buffy walking down a dark alley way, someone is following her. She jumps up above the alley, over her purser and then tackles him. And with the sexist smile ever, he says something like "I don't bite." I was hooked.

alyson Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 12:14 PM EST

I can confirm that David is as hot in person as he is on TV ... he made an appearance at the NHL All-Star Game this weekend and I walked the red carpet with him. YOWZA!

Jen S. Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 11:49 AM EST

Good lord! I could not agree more... although, I am desperate for new Bones! April is SO far away!!!

Check out his movie 'These Girls' for some beautiful David! lol

ihearthimtoo Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 11:41 AM EST

Tuesday's are now my favorite day of the week. I get up to Angel in the morning and now get Bones on TNT before bed at night. Talk about sweet dreams.

Verity Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 11:19 AM EST

Oh and David Boreanaz is my happy place :)

Verity Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 10:55 AM EST

Pamela, isn't Rufus Sewell dreamy? So glad to know I'm not alone. To answer Mandi's question, I recall contacting a friend of mine to gush about my new love for Charlie Cox immediately after seeing him in "Stardust." And because she is such a good friend, she now does her best to work him into our conversations just as she does with my other loves Christian Bale and David Tennant.

Dana Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 10:54 AM EST

David Boreanaz is just hot! I love Bones it is great show.

I must say I also have a TV crush on Wentworth Miller and that guy who plays Jack on Men in Trees, James Topher I think? Anyway they are both hot too!

sje Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 10:06 AM EST

*sigh* David Boreanaz makes my heart flutter - I think my bf's jealous :P

Vicky Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 09:59 AM EST

Love him! I think he looks better on Bones than he did on Buffy/Angel. He's the only reason I decided to watch Bones in the first place. Although, I stayed for the well rounded cast. Why don't more people what that show????

Leslie Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 09:23 AM EST

All you chickees need to step back!! David B. has been and always will be my tv husband!! And yes, I am a happily married woman. LOL

E Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 08:40 AM EST

Since I just Netflixed Bones season two too, that feeling of growing Borneanaz love is familiar.

Joy Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 01:23 AM EST

Oh, yeah, baby! Mr. Boreanaz has certainly aged well. I too caught up with the 1st Season of Bones when it came out on DVD last year, and have been hooked on the show ever since. I believe the cast is underrated; it's a fantastic ensemble. I hope to see this man on my television set for years to come. He can protect me any day of the week!

Vlada Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 11:04 PM EST

He has definitely aged well and seems so happy to be able to smile on TV now.
I still haven't deleted his Graham Norton appearance from my DVR. It's just too good to let go.

Emilee Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 09:30 PM EST

"Hello Salty Goodness."

aa Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 08:34 PM EST

could not agree with you more on david but my official crush is jeffrey donovan from burn notice. the first time i hearted him was on the phenomenal touching evil and i harrassed all of my friends. i like him so much that i sat through hitch. i had been saving burn notice and finally watched the whole season thursday when i was home sick. now i love him even more and my friends really, really cannot stand him.

mg Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 08:18 PM EST

I like him, and my dad even admitted to having one of those straight-guy "man crushes" on him- I think he just wants to be Booth.

Snarf Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 07:16 PM EST

I can't get over the fact that this is "Commander Tom's" son. That bein said he certainly aging well. Yum.

Pamela Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 06:34 PM EST

Sorry, forgot to answer the question posed by Mandi.

I did this about a month ago. On catching up on DVD of the Taming of the Shrew from the BBC's excellent Shakespeare Re-told series I immediately contacted a friend who has a crush on Rufus Sewell that I was now completely understood and now had a thing for him too(have to bump someone else of my list pretty shortly). We acted all pathetic for a few moments as we recounted some moments from this show. BTW, he spending a good portion of it in women's clothing and he's still yummy.

i wish angel had lyrics so i could post em in here: Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 06:31 PM EST

ANGEL ANGEL ANGEL!!!

Pamela Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 06:22 PM EST

Keep on with spreading the love for Bones: great cast, great chemistry, fun stories.

Last year my sister and I went to a talk and book-signing by writer and Bones producer Kathy Reichs. As we left the signing line clutching our books, all we could think was "we just got to meet someone who knows Angel". Squeal. Kathy hearts him too, she told us as much in the packed auditorium (though some in the audience were puzzled about all the Bones talk. Did they think it was going to be a serious lecture? Fools;)). And she was happy to discuss her involvement with Bones too. Mucho bonus.

:o) Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 05:58 PM EST

Oh posts on David B make me so happy. I love him so much!

MKS Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 05:50 PM EST

Of course, it is quite understandable to crush on Boreanaz, who's dripping with HOTNESS on Bones.

LisaMama Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 05:40 PM EST

Ladies, where have you been? David B was nice as a hottie vampire with a soul on Buffy/Angel, but he's a real MAN on Bones. I've seen every episode and LOVE his character. David B and his co-star Emily Deschanel have real chemistry; the sparks practically fly out of the TV! Did you see the kiss under the mistletoe episode? WOW!
