Everyone knows who Simon Cowell is.
He’s starred in several shows and made quite a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
He’s appeared in Britain’s Got Talent, America’s Got Talent, and X Factor, to name a few.
Currently, his net worth stands at a staggering $600 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Cowell was born on October 7, 1959, in Brighton, England.
He’s known for many things — being an entrepreneur, producer, and recording executive.
He’s also known for his harsh criticism on various talent shows.
But before he got into being a judge for these well-known TV shows…
Cowell worked in a mail room at EMI Music Publishing.
This was after he decided to leave school at the age of sixteen.
In 1979, he was eventually given the chance to discover performers to sing newly published songs.
By 1989, he and a partner formed Fanfare Records, which enjoyed some success before folding in 1989.
Later on that year, BMG Records hired Cowell as an artist and repertoire consultant.
Being an artist for the company, he saw huge success and ended up having a powerful influence on popular music.
He then starred as a judge on the TV show Pop Idol in 2001.
The show was built around Simon Fuller’s vision of where young pop singers would compete against each other.
What made the show even more interesting was that viewers would choose the winners in the final round.
The show only ran for 2 years, from 2001 to 2003.
With the huge success of the show, the Fox Broadcasting Company imported the show, along with Cowell as judge, to the United States in 2002.
It was then called American Idol.
The show quickly became a huge hit.
It became the highest-rated American television show at the time.
It was mainly due to Cowell’s acerbic put-downs of contestants and, on occasion, of his fellow judges.
The show then came to an end but Cowell went on to the next best thing for his career…
And that was X Factor.
The show aired in 2004, and millions of viewers tuned in every Saturday night to watch the competition.
Cowell found huge success in this show.
2 years after it originally aired, it went on to win the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award.
That same year, Cowell also became the executive producer of 3 new American shows.
American Inventor, which ran from 2006 to 2008. This competition promised a million-dollar manufacturing contract for whoever the winner may be.
America’s Got Talent, which aired in 2006 and is still going to this day.
It is open to all types of entertainers, on which he served as a judge from 2016.
And the final show was Celebrity Duets, which aired in 2006, but didn’t last long.
It was a short-run singing competition between pairings of professional singers and celebrities.
In 2007, he was made a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.
The show is still airing and is currently in its 15th season.
It is a very similar concept to America’s Got Talent, where it’s open to a variety of entertainers to climb their way to victory
Cowell served as a judge, where he was commonly known to many brits for his harsh criticism.
But recently, Cowell’s been getting a lot of attention over his physical appearance.
After a new promoting video for Britain’s Got Talent was released, many fans were quick to notice the huge change in Cowell’s face.
The video, which has now been deleted, was to encourage people to audition for the or the last series of Britain’s Got Talent.
However, people became more focused on his appearance rather than the message he was conveying.
Many fans described Cowell as “unrecognizable” in the video.
And they took to social media to share their thoughts on it.
One fan wrote: “Holy moly I nearly didn’t recognize him.”
A second added: “What has happened to this poor chaps face. And hair?”
A third wrote: “He’s not looked right since he crashed that motorbike bless him.”
While a fourth chimed: “Looks as though he’s lost quite a bit of weight as well.”
According to Daily Mail, Cowell lost 20 lbs due to lifestyle changes after being involved in a motorcycle accident so the changes to his appearance could perhaps be a result of that.
