Grichka Bogdanoff died at the age of 72, this Tuesday, December 28. A very sad news announced by his agent, Damien Nougarede, as reported by AFP, today. So far, the causes of death have not yet been revealed but according to information from Pure Peoplehe would be dead “from a long illness“. We know, thanks to his agent that he died, in the hospital, surrounded by loved ones, “peacefully, to reach the stars“.
An emblematic personality of the 1980s, he was known at the same time as his twin brother Igor Bogdanoff. This is the popular science program Time X, then broadcast on TF1 from 1979 to 1987, which made them known to the general public. The Bogdanoff brothers were born in the Gers in 1949, to parents of Russian, Austrian and Czech origin. They have always maintained the mystery around their life. Their unique physique has always given way to many fantasies, especially about cosmetic surgery. “I say it solemnly, we never used it“, declared the now late Grichka Bogdanoff, during an interview with TV-Leisure, in 2017.

Did Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff have surgery?
Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff first appeared on television in 1977 on the show Noon Premiere by Daniel Gilbert, and already it was their appearance that made the talk. In 2019, Cyril Hanouna and his columnists had again put the subject of cosmetic surgery on the table in Do not touch My TV ! The twins had this time evoked a decisive meeting in the United States. They had spoken “of experiments on radiation“, denying again having received any implant.
In January 2021, after three years of investigation, a trial was ordered by an investigating judge against the Bogdanoff brothers for “scam” against a millionaire. Four other people were also on trial.
