2024 - Death of the Bogdanoff brothers: close friend reveals why they were always late

Invited to testify on Tuesday, January 4 in The Big Heads, Olivier Bonnassies confided in his relationship and the personality of the Bogdanoff brothers, who died of the covid just six days apart.

One of the last appearances of Grishka and Igor Bogdanoff dates back to November 20, 2021, during a debate organized for the publication of the book “God, science, evidence“by Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies. A few weeks later, the two brothers were hospitalized, placed in intensive care and died of covid within days of each other.

Tuesday, January 4, Olivier Bonnassies, the author of the book and friend of the brothers testified to pay homage to them in Big heads. He made many confidences about their personality to Laurent Ruquier: “We didn’t work badly together until the end of their lives“he started before continuing “I discovered them, I had always been a bit of a fan, but being around them was something quite astonishing because what was striking was their kindness.“.

Olivier Bonnassies: “They were really lovely with everyone”.

During his exchange with Laurent Ruquier, the writer revealed the reason why Grishka and Igor Bogdanoff were arriving always late. He explained : “They were really sweet to everyone, that’s why they were always late“. According to Olivier Bonnassies, the two brothers could not”walk 20 meters down the street“without being stopped by their fans.

A situation that absolutely did not bother the stars of Time X who willingly stopped to chat. Their way of being also allowed them toacquire new knowledge. Olivier Bonnassies said: “They knew the whole world and they were curious about everything. They had a pretty amazing culture and overall knowledge“. The kindness emphasized by all those close to the Bogdanoff brothers will have enabled them, among other things, to become such outstanding personalities.
