Simon Cowell has claimed that he has managed to “age backwards” by using a controversial blood filtering trend.
He told The Sun recently about the extreme measures he has been taking in a bid to stay young. The America’s Got Talent judge explained that he has had his blood rinsed, filtered, and put back into his body, a treatment that has been gaining popularity in Hollywood in recent months.
“I go to this place, this wellness clinic, where they actually take your blood, they rinse it, they filter it and then they put it back into your body,” he said.
Cowell also credited “eating better,” taking certain supplements, exercising more, and lowering his stress with helping him to “age backwards.”
“You do all these tests, and they tell you your age, so I’ve actually aged backwards by eating better, more exercise, less stress and certain supplements,” he continued. “My brain is still there, I still have the energy.”
He also revealed that he had considered having his body cryogenically frozen, but ultimately decided against it after discovering the process involves decapitating the body: “I found out they chop your head off, so you come back in 2,000 years as a floating head.”
Simon Cowell's new boy band is facing a bitter legal battle over its name.
He launched his search for the next big boy band in his Netflix documentary, The Next Act, last week. After months of auditions, Simon chose the seven singers he hopes will make him a huge success again after X-Factor icons, One Direction, achieved stratospheric fame.
However, after choosing his new group's name, December 10 - which was the date the Netflix show launched - he found out there is another group called December Tenth - and they're not happy. The Scottish heavy metal rockers from Glasgow - who picked their name from the date their pen pal was executed on death row - have urged Simon's legal team to get in touch.
Simon Cowell’s involvement has inevitably drawn intense attention to the dispute, given his long and influential history of creating chart-topping pop acts. Best known as the architect behind The X Factor, Cowell helped shape the modern boyband formula, blending reality television with commercial pop success. His most famous creation, One Direction, was formed during the 2010 series of the show and went on to become one of the biggest bands in the world, selling tens of millions of records and dominating charts globally before going on hiatus in 2016.
Cowell has also played a central role in launching other hugely successful groups, including Westlife, who were formed in Ireland under his management in the late 1990s and went on to score a record-breaking run of number-one singles. Through his record label Syco, Cowell built a reputation for turning televised auditions into lucrative pop careers, often with carefully branded group identities designed to appeal to a global audience.
That legacy has followed him into The Next Act, which Netflix billed as a behind-the-scenes look at Cowell’s attempt to recreate pop magic in a streaming-era landscape. With Universal Music involved and a global platform backing the project, the naming dispute has taken on added weight, particularly as branding and intellectual property are central to any modern music launch.
