David Boreanaz remembered his first day on the set of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and watching Sarah Michelle Gellar film a fight scene as Buffy with intense ferocity. When the scene ended and Gellar introduced herself to Boreanaz, “she was so bubbly and energetic and very kind and there I am just holding my cool,” the actor recalled on “The Summit with Josh Horowitz.”
Boreanaz’s character Angel was a dark and mysterious vampire, or in his words, often brooding. 26 years later, Boreanaz posted a photo alongside Gellar in an Instagram story and captioned, “TBT: This a grumpy moment or brooding moment.” Gellar then reposted the story and wrote that her co-star was “always brooding you were never grumpy.”

In 2014, nearly two decades after first working together, Gellar and Boreanaz appeared to still be close. She posted a photo on Twitter with her, Boreanaz, and Emily Deschanel, his co-star on the TV series “Bones.” According to Gellar, her TV sitcom “The Crazy Ones” was filmed on the same lot as “Bones” and Boreanaz would sometimes text her to join when there was a great catering spread for his show. “David and I will always have a connection. We’ll always stay friends,” Gellar told HuffPost Live. That same year, Gellar participated in an open discussion on Reddit and dished on one of Boreanaz’s better qualities. “I can say that David honestly smells very good and continues to smell very good,” Gellar wrote.
