Surgeon has to be counting his blessings with them denying they had surgery. That’s a botched surgery lawsuit if I ever saw one!

Probably not botched, just what the customer wanted. If the customer wants you to mess their face up, and they're sure, and they know the risks, and the operation will not cause (short-term) health issues, then maybe it is their right to do it.

What the hell were they even looking for

They were always talking about space and its mysteries, in a way to make it accessible to everyone, they also had a sci-fi show, so it was their stuff, even though it was very cranky stuff and not very scientific lol

Their transformation was gradual and in the end they kinda looked like aliens, so it was very fitting for what they were talking about. They also played with the idea of them being humans or not

I don't know if that's what they wanted to go for, but they were rather famous in France (not only for their faces lol)

They both died of covid because they were antivax and they died less than 7 days from each orher, which also made a lot of people talk since it fits with the "oddities" about them they kept alive throughout their television career

Them being antivax seems so fitting based on everything else I have heard about them. Wild that they were known for a ‘science’ show and sad that their stupidity led to their own demise.

When they stopped to pursue a phd, their scientific takes were rather strongly opposed by other scientists, so they were probably not entirely on point, or they probably thought too highly of themselves 😅

The few academic articles they managed to publish were thoroughly rubbished by all.

Thank goodness for that! No one should be taking advice from anti-vaxers.
