But Hanson appeared to have squealed swine a little too soon.


"Oops! There is no indication that Boreanaz has swine flu," Hanson wrote in another Twitter post. "We expect him back tomorrow. I'm now going out to get swine flu myself in atonement."

"I'm great! Got hit hard with the flu…I'm back at work today, doing great," David told Access' Billy Bush in an interview for "The Billy Bush Show." "I'm over it."
