French TV star Igor Bogdanoff has died of Covid-19, six days after his twin brother Grichka died of the same disease.
A friend of the twins confirmed their deaths and told CNN affiliate BFM TV the pair had died after catching the virus in November.
Jean-Louis Chalencon told BFM TV the twins had been hospitalized December 15, but had waited too long to be admitted.
"Neither was vaccinated, Chalencon said, because the twins believed their “extraordinary life-style hygiene,” eating mostly seeds and not drinking alcohol, would protect them from the virus.
The 72-year-old twins were celebrities in France, not least because of their unusual facial features. Outside France, they were known after appearing in a viral meme.
