Simon Cowell looks younger than ever, even at 64 years old.
Despite never having a facelift, he admits to being a fan of Botox and fillers. Last year, his appearances were the subject of jokes from ITV presenters Ant McPartlin and Deku Donnelly, with Ant teasing him about his “new face”.
“I think it’s hysterical,” Simon told the Mirror. “I mean, it makes me laugh, but I haven’t had any plastic surgery or anything. For years, people have said I’ve had it all done. Botox. I gave him a little bit of something, but nothing dramatic.”

Simon previously told The Sun that there was a time when he “maybe gone a little too far” with his cosmetic surgery, which caused his son Eric to laugh at him. He said: “There was a phase where I might have gone a little too far. The other day I saw a picture of me ‘before’ and at first I didn’t realize it was me. Eric was hysterical. Enough is enough.” Enough was enough. Now there is no filler on my face at all. ”
Back in 2008, he compared Botox to toothpaste and said it was common in the entertainment industry. He told Glamor magazine: “To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works and you only have to do it once a year, but who cares?” But in 2013, former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne criticized him, saying: “His face is terrible”. It’s so full of fillers and Botox that it’s as if it doesn’t move, at least not me,” reports the Mirror.
In 2019, Simon Cowell opened up about his beauty regimen, admitting he had a “21st century facelift” and had too much Botox before his 60th birthday. He confessed to The Sun newspaper: “There’s so much you can do now. It’s not just about stuffing your face with fillers and Botox. It hurts like hell, but it takes away the sun damage and takes away all the nasties.”
The TV mogul is also known for trying unconventional treatments to maintain his youthful appearance. “I once had a sheep placenta facial, and it was quite innovative,” he revealed.
Singer Sinita also recommended a detox machine, jokingly comparing it to a Doctor Who prop. “Then Sinita suggested I try another detox machine, and this one showed up in my bedroom like something out of Doctor Who.” It was like a spaceship had landed in my bedroom. It seemed like it. ”
Despite this, Cowell believes in sticking to some traditional methods to stay healthy. His daily routine includes regular exercise and taking lots of vitamins. He explained: “I exercise three or four times a week, get Botox injections, and take tons of vitamins and IV vitamins. If I believe these things are working, I feel better.”
After a major lifestyle change, Cowell admitted in 2022 that he had lost more than three stone after receiving a warning from his doctor. Speaking to The Sun about his unusual eating habits, he said: “I’m not a big eater. I don’t really like it. I’d rather drink beer than eat any day of the week.”
“Sometimes when I go out to dinner, I put some baked beans on my toast before I go and don’t eat anything afterwards because I know I’m going to hate the food,” he complained. The telly mogul admitted he can’t stand weddings and parties where the food is “terrible” and prefers to have a cozy night out instead.
Simon believes his dramatic weight loss is due to a complete diet overhaul, with his doctor likening his old diet to a “1960s schoolboy diet”. He used to be a pie connoisseur, but now, in pursuit of healthier food, he’s cut back on carbohydrates, including his once-loved pizza, and also no longer consumes red meat, dairy, sugar or gluten.
For brekkie, it’s all smoothies, but lunch is usually soup and grilled tomatoes, and I often skip dinner, especially if I’m going to a restaurant. Pie, once his staple food, is now a distant memory, and giving up pizza was “the hardest thing to do,” he groaned. Just a small amount is enough for me now,” Simon tweeted.
