‘My Body Just Can’t Do It Anymore!’ David Boreanaz Gets Real About The Toll Filming Seven Seasons Of SEAL Team Has Taken On His Body, And Yikes

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in military-themed video games, I can honestly say that watching David Boreanaz bring Master Chief Jason Hayes to life on SEAL Team has been an exhilarating journey. His physical and emotional commitment to the role has been nothing short of inspiring.


The final season of the TV show “SEAL Team” is set for 2024, marking the end of its seven-season run on Paramount+. This military drama has kept viewers on the edge of their seats with its high-intensity action scenes and heartfelt storylines, but it was inevitable that the tale of Bravo would reach its conclusion. It’s no wonder that this emotional journey has taken a toll on David Boreanaz, who recently spoke openly about the physical strain it has caused him. All I can say is “yikes” after hearing his candid account.

After portraying Master Chief Jason Hayes since the series’ debut, Boreanaz has experienced a great deal and undoubtedly put considerable strain on his physical health. Acting in procedurals can be demanding, and it’s no walk in the park. In an interview with People magazine, the actor from Bones expressed that now is the perfect moment for SEAL Team to conclude, as his body simply cannot endure any more: a poignant reminder of the toll such intense roles take on performers.

My body just can’t do it anymore! There were no shortcuts.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at the intense action sequences, high-speed chases, and adrenaline-pumping gunfights in “SEAL Team”. Yet, what truly sets this series apart is that it’s not just about the spectacle; it’s about grit, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of those who live this life. It’s no secret that the cast members put their bodies and minds to the test, as I’ve learned from Boreanaz’s accounts of getting injured during filming but pushing through, just like a real SEAL would do. This commitment to authenticity, even amidst the bloodshed, makes “SEAL Team” an exceptional representation of the military world we admire.

About a yard deep, I struck a stone, causing my ankle to twist sharply and sending me sprawling onto the ground. My ankle swelled up significantly, but I gritted my teeth and pressed on. The SEALs teach you to endure pain – men who’ve lost limbs yet find humor in their predicament as a coping mechanism. It’s incredibly demanding.

As a gamer, I can relate to the cast of SEAL Team. Despite the intense action when the cameras are rolling, behind the scenes they’re well taken care of. It’s a relief to film those less action-packed scenes, even if they’re brief. This year, David Boreanaz spilled some beans about his off-screen life, and it seems like the finale came at just the right time for him.

Despite my efforts to maintain my health, I find that my body’s mobility isn’t what it once was, and it seems I’ve needed four MRIs over the last four months – one each for my knees, hips, and shoulders. It’s been quite an experience so far.

Regardless of the numerous injuries he sustained during filming for SEAL Team, this CBS-turned-Paramount+ series remains significant to him. Boreanaz recently expressed his gratitude as production was about to end, lauding the cast, crew, writers, and everyone else involved in the show’s circle. He also responded to the announcement of the final season last November, acknowledging his gratitude for portraying Jason Hayes and expressing that the show holds special meaning not just for him but for military personnel as well.

As the seventh season of SEAL Team marks its end, anticipation builds as the intensity may reach unprecedented levels. This could lead to an increase in action sequences and daring stunts that might strain the cast’s physical limits. Predicting the conclusion for Bravo’s team is challenging, especially after the surprising twist in Season 6’s finale. Fortunately, viewers with a Paramount+ subscription can watch the first two episodes of Season 7 this coming Sunday, August 11. Additional episodes will be released weekly thereafter.
