I have googled this different times, and I can’t find anything except other people asking the same question. This is driving me crazy. I watch Bones and half the time I miss what’s happening because I’m staring at his jaw wondering what the hell happened. Help! I need to know! ---

I have no idea what you’re talking about. His jaw looks perfectly normal to me. ---

I’m with Miller - I can’t figure out what you mean…can you actually describe what you mean? ---

What’s wrong is it was carved from granite instead of steel. ---

For some reason, my total confusion at what **Stoid** is getting at is cracking me up. He had to have major lower jaw surgery after a tragic soapbox derby accident when he was nine. ---

OK, here is a picture of him. What’s wrong with it?

Mmm - that is a very, very nice jaw. The rest of the face ain’t bad, either. 🙂 ---

Looks quite nicely well-formed to me. I wouldn’t have picked anything “wrong” about it, ever. ---

His jaw looks okay, I think it’s the rest of his face that’s causing the trouble… ---

I’ve never noticed anything wrong with his jaw. His hair, on the other hand… 😛 ---

The problem is that its attached to his head. ---

Yeah, I just think he was born with bad hair and that’s why he has really stupid hair in every single show he’s in. They don’t know what to do with it. ---

The character of Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (also played by Boreanaz) was actually described as having a face as beautiful as an angel. I would think a jaw deformity would dampen that. I have a problem with my lower jaw: one side is an 1/8 in longer than the other. This is why I wear at least a goatee at nearly all times. So if it’s something less significant than that, I probably won’t notice. ---

I’m not seeing a problem in the static pictures either. Is it something only noticeable in video? If so, please post an example. If anything is obviously odd about him, it’s his Christopher Lambert like brow… ---

I think that the problem with his jaw is that when he moves it up and down it sounds like he can’t act 😛 ---

To me he looks a little like he has acromegaly. Although I agree it’s more obvious on TV than in still pictures. ---

I don’t see anything wrong with his jaw in the stills. Maybe a video would help. Hijack: What’s wrong with Reba McIntyre’s eyes? Does she have a “lazy” eye or something? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-wrong-with-david-boreanaz-lower-jaw/550795.md?page=2)
