French showman Igor Bogdanoff passed away on January 3, 2022, just six days after his twin brother Grichka. According to AFP, his family stated he died “surrounded by love, children, and family.”
An attorney confirmed to BFMTV that Igor died from complications related to COVID-19. Neither brother had been vaccinated and both were previously hospitalized.
The Bogdanoff twins rose to fame in France in the 1970s with science and sci-fi TV shows like Temps X. Born in 1949 to a Russian-Tatar father and an aristocratic mother, their real names were Igor and Grigory.
