Twin brothers who were once boyishly handsome TV stars in France have undergone so much plastic surgery that they’re nearly unrecognizable. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff, now 60, had chin implants, cheek implants, botox and fillers, according to the Daily Mail – and their stretched-out faces are reminiscent of 63-year-old socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein.

Called “the bride of Wildenstein,” the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Wildenstein had some seven face-lifts and reconstructive surgery on her eyes, plus collagen injections in the face. Wildenstein had so many cosmetic surgery procedures that the final result looked almost freakish.

The Bogdanoff twins didn’t look all that dissimilar as they posed for photos at a recent party for the luxury jeweler Chopard.

In the ’80s, the heartthrob twins enjoyed their own science fiction prime-time series, “Temps X.” But time and surgical intervention took their toll on the twins’ boyish good looks. They underwent rounds of plastic surgery and later got caught up in a controversy over work they’d published in physics journals.

Though their popularity has dimmed, they still manage to rub shoulders with the famous. At the recent party for Chopard, other guests included Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Kate Beckinsale and Marion Cotillard.
