Simon Cowell finally addresses rumours about his facelift: ‘It’s hysterical’

Simon Cowell has been the judge of Britain’s Got Talent since 2007. People have seen him change over the years and it is not just confined to his talent but also his looks. The 63-year-old appeared to be hooked on Botox for a long time until he decided to quit. However, the recent BGT promo had him look ‘unrecognisable’ after yet another alleged facelift.

Simon Cowell denies getting a facelift

According to The Mirror, BGT’s highest-paid judge has denied allegations of a facelift. Show hosts Ant and Dec joked about having a ‘new face’ on the BGT judging panel this year, but they were not talking about former Strictly Come Dancing’s, Bruno Tonioli.

Instead, they were mocking Simon for his changed looks. Dec told the audience during a media event this week:

We have a new face joining the judging panel.

To which Ant replied:

What? Simon has a new face?

The music mogul was expected to be angry with the show hosts or scold them, instead, he denied the rumour. Simon revealed:

I think it's hysterical. I mean, it just makes me laugh. I haven't had a facelift or anything. I've had a bit of Botox or whatever, but nothing drastic.

So when I hear about this stuff, honestly it does make me laugh.

He added:

Over the years people have said that I’ve had everything done.

But I don’t google myself so I genuinely don’t have a clue what everyone is saying about me until we do things like BGT.

Why did Simon quit having face fillers?

This comes after Simon’s decision to quit getting under the knife was influenced by his son Eric’s reaction. The star, who is also his own biggest critic, confessed that he had gone a little overboard with his fillers. He said:

There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far. I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day and didn’t recognise it as me first of all.

Eric (his son) was in hysterics. Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero.

The talent show judge also admitted to wanting another child, reported The Sun. He revealed:

Being a dad is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I love every second I spend with him.

Just two days ago I was thinking, ‘It would be nice to have another.’

So look, will it happen? I don’t know. But I would love another kid. I really like being a dad.
