There is a family resemblance between these two.
Artistic dynasties in our society are not uncommon, but sometimes kinship is found where we did not suspect. It turned out that the singer Oleg Gazmanov has a “brother” familiar to all of us, or rather, a fourth cousin uncle. But since Gazmanov himself is four years older than his uncle, they can be considered rather brothers.
Thus, the famous comedian Efim Shifrin turned out to be a relative of the singer. For a long time, artists did not want to share this information with the press, so as not to provoke rumors that someone was promoting someone. Only when both relatives received well-deserved fame and popularity did they admit their relationship.
It turned out that Shifrin and Gazmanov have a common relative. She is the second cousin of the humorist and is in the same degree of kinship with the singer. When this information became public, the artists did not deny and confessed everything.
Efim Shifrin called Gazmanov his fourth cousin, and his son Rodion, his fifth cousin.
