14 DAY TRIAL // They were once, back in the ‘80s, bona fide heartthrobs: Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff, stars of the sci-fi successful series Temps X, had the kind of looks that could send women in a frenzy with just a smile. At a recent Chopard event in Cannes the other day, though, they looked more like Jocelyn Wildenstein, barely maintaining a trace of the men they were once, as the Daily Mail also points out.
This could easily be filed in a special chapter called “Things that can go wrong with plastic surgery.” It’s a known fact that too many interventions, perhaps performed by a less than competent surgeon as well, can have devastating effects, which require more surgery to fix but never are. This also seems to be the case with the Bogdanoff brothers, who appear to have gone down the same path as Wildenstein, also known as the Bride of Wildenstein, also known as the woman who wanted to look more feline to please her husband and ended up looking like Dr. Frankenstein’s monster.
“Thirty years ago, they were the heartthrobs of French television with their own primetime series on science fiction. Now Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff look more like the alien life forms they used to report on. The twin brothers have had so much plastic surgery they are barely recognizable. Posing for pictures as the 150th anniversary party for luxury jeweler Chopard, the pair – now aged 60 – looked freakier than ever. They are both understood to have a number of chin and cheek implants, as well as botox and fillers,” the Mail writes.
“The Bogdanoff brothers were hugely popular on French television during the 1980s. Their boyish good looks helped them secure a number of series on science and science fiction including the hugely popular Temps X. But in the 1990s they had their first round of plastic surgery. They were later embroiled in controversy over problems with work they published in physics journals, which were criticized by the scientific community,” the same report goes on to say.
Unfortunately, pictures from the event made available online show that, once the Bogdanoff brothers got the plastic-surgery ball rolling, they could never actually stop it. Their abnormally long chins, their impossible high cheekbones and their slanted eyes, which can only be the result of too many facelifts, have generated the kind of headlines in the media and the blogosphere that would actually be funny if they weren’t so tragic.
