Buffy Wishes Angel a Happy Birthday

Buffy Wishes Angel a Happy Birthday

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer nostalgia was so thick this week that it almost felt like it was 1997 again. That's because, on the occasion of actor David Boreanaz's 47th birthday, his 'Buffy' co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar wished him a happy birthday via Instagram with a collection of photos that vividly recalled their characters' supernatural love affair on the show.

The post included three photos of the actors on the set of the classic series, along with a message from Gellar to Boreanaz.

"When you hear it's someone's birthday and you realize how long you've known them," Gellar wrote. "Happy birthday, David. Immortality looks good on you."

 
Gellar played the title character on Joss Whedon's show about a young woman who finds herself saddled with the task of ridding the world of vampires, demons and various monsters. Boreanaz played Angel, a vampire with a conscience, with whom Buffy ultimately fell in love.

Since 2005, Boreanaz has played FBI agent Seeley Booth on Bones on FOX. Bones will return for its twelfth and final season this fall. Gellar has recently worked on a pilot for a TV adaptation of Cruel Intentions, a film she starred in back in 1999; the series didn't make it onto NBC's fall schedule but could possibly air in the summer of 2017.
