Simon Cowell, the renowned music executive and television personality, recently disclosed that he undergoes a unique blood treatment at a wellness clinic to maintain his youthful vitality. The 66-year-old star of *Britain’s Got Talent* claims this procedure, which involves having his blood “rinsed” and “filtered,” has contributed to what he describes as “aging backwards.”
In an interview with *The Sun*, Cowell shared details about his health regimen. He emphasized that alongside this blood treatment, he has adopted a healthier diet and increased his exercise routine. “You do all these tests and they tell you your age, so I’ve actually aged backwards by eating better, more exercise, less stress, certain supplements,” Cowell stated. He expressed confidence in his mental and physical energy, noting, “My brain is still there, I still have the energy.”
Cryogenic Plans Abandoned
While Cowell is open to innovative health treatments, he recently abandoned his plans for cryogenic preservation. He humorously explained that his research revealed a rather unsettling aspect of the process: “I found out they chop your head off, so you come back in 2,000 years as a floating head.” This light-hearted take reflects Cowell’s characteristic candor and wit, even when discussing serious topics like health and longevity.
Through his production company, Syco Entertainment, Cowell has played a pivotal role in launching numerous successful pop acts, including One Direction, Little Mix, and Fifth Harmony. His influence extends to major television franchises, having created and produced iconic shows like *The X Factor*, which began in 2004, and *Britain’s Got Talent*, which premiered in 2007.
Defending Pop Culture
In addressing criticism aimed at the artists he has supported, Cowell remarked, “I didn’t buy the argument of ‘it’s not credible and not cool’. I’m not cool. So I don’t care.” He expressed amusement at the success of unexpected musical acts, recalling, “I thought it was funny when the Power Rangers got to number one.”
Cowell’s enduring presence in the entertainment industry continues with his upcoming Netflix series, *Simon Cowell: The Next Act*. Set to launch on December 10, 2023, the show follows Cowell as he seeks to discover the next boyband sensation, further solidifying his status as a key figure in modern music and television.
As Cowell embraces innovative health practices and continues to shape the entertainment landscape, his blend of humor and ambition remains a defining characteristic of his public persona.
