French TV star and real world meme Grichka Bogdanoff has died at the age of 72 of COVID-19.
Grichka Bogdanoff rose to fame in the 1980s with his twin brother Igor in a popular French TV show, Temps X, that was broadcast between 1979 to 1987. The twins became recognizable, eccentric characters for their contributions to French science fiction and prominent facial appearances.
In a statement to AFP, Bogdanoff’s agent said, “Surrounded by the love of his family and his relatives, Grichka Bogdanoff passed away peacefully to join his stars.”
French publication La Monde reported that neither Bogdanoff twin had been vaccinated. Grichka Bogdanoff was admitted to intensive care in a Paris hospital on December 15, amid reports that both brothers tested positive for COVID-19.
Following the broadcast of Temps X, which was one of France’s first original sci-fi shows, which the brothers hosted in shiny suits, Bogdanoff appeared on a number of other science programs.
Metro reported: “Bogdanoff went on to appear on a number of science programmes alongside Igor, with the pair eventually each receiving Ph.D. – with Bogdanoff’s from the University of Burgundy (Dijon) in 1999 and, in 2002, Igor receiving his in theoretical physics from the University of Burgundy.”
“Still, the brothers were involved in controversy in 2002, in an event branded the Bogdanov affair, in which it was alleged the brothers wrote nonsensical advanced physics papers – mostly about what they believed happened during the Big Bang – that were nonetheless published in reputable scientific journals,” the publication reported.
Both brothers, known for their prominent jaws and cheeks, denied having plastic surgery.
