Bosworth, 24, gossiped on the speculation to Chelsea Lately chat show host and comedian Chelsea Handler.
Twenty-nine-year-old Thomas became a teen idol playing middle son Randy on the long-running ABC sitcom Home Improvement. After the series ended its 8-season run in 1999, Thomas continued working in television and film.
When Handler asked whether Bosworth had a crush on Thomas, Bosworth answered that she does, then added in a whisper, “But I don't know if he's gay or not.”
“I heard that myth, and I don't know if that's true or not,” Bosworth said. “If it's not true, he should definitely come out of the wood works.”
“He seems like he'd be gay, but I don't know that he's gay,” Handler said.
The women agreed that Thomas had “such a beautiful face.”
“Jonathan, if you're watching, get down here, girl, we're in Santa Monica,” Handler ordered.
