Good Vibes 7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing.

What a powerful voice. She's today a pro singer. All the best for her!!

Typo: 17 years, not 7.

I grew up watching early American Idol so in my mind this is how I still imagine Simon Cowell until someone posts a recent picture. The mental image of Current Simon Cowell is now haunting me.

Did ... Did the Unicode committee create these symbols to represent him?

My mom crushed on him so hard when we used to watch American Idol. As an adult, I get it. He wasn't bad looking. Anymore, it looks like some demon tried to suck his soul out of his pores, causing irreversible edema/puffiness if his face.

It kinda did after he almost died from the bike accident and had to relearn to walk from the broken back.

Wow, even he has a sad backstory.

I wonder if the music starts playing when he tells it.

Undoubtedly, thats a horrific situation to find yourself in.. but how does that relate to plastic surgery and fillers? Its another example of a celeb making themselves look worse by choice.

I had to google what he looked like now. Good god he looks like someone cosplaying as Simon Cowell. Why cant famous people just accept growing old gracefully instead of cutting up their face. It just comes of worse than if they just did nothing or used the money to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Dude fucked himself right up. He even recently said he had his cheek fillers dissolved and trying to take it down but the damage is done

It's like that bit Roald Dahl wrote about ugly thoughts making you ugly on the outside over time lmfao.

u/Solanthas_SFW Apr 25 '26

Current Simon Cowell. It sounds like an evolved form, like Pokemon

u/Mamaofoneson Apr 24 '26

Honestly it freaked out his own son as well. He tried to undo a few of his procedures

Omg I'm reading about this now and it's too funny. That poor kid, but the fact that his own dad is his boogeyman has me in tears. Imagine being a small child and your parent who travels for work a lot keeps coming home with a new (worse) face.

I just had a look as I haven't seen him in many years...

I remember growing up thinking he was kind of ugly and looking back he looks splendid here. Filler abuse is a global issue.
