Inside Simon Cowell’s ridiculous attempts to stay young

Simon Cowell has gone through crazy lengths to stay beautiful.

“I’m a sucker for reading about something out there and believing it will work,” the “X Factor” creator told Mirror Online, also admitting that he may have overdone it on Botox a couple years ago.

“Hopefully I look better now,” he said.

Over the years his willingness to try just about anything has led to some pretty awkward situations.

“Once in LA, years ago, I met this girl who would wrap me up in cling film and then tin foil, after covering me in oils,” he said. “It was meant to be detoxing. She then put me in this tube in my house, locked me into it for an hour … After about two months I realized, ‘This is actually torture.’ That was crazy”

He added, “I also had a sheep placenta facial once, which was quite out there.”

Since then, the 56-year-old has mellowed out on his beauty regimen and sticks to regular facials, vitamin injections, working out and some Botox.

The former “American Idol” judge says he does “several hundred” push-ups a day, but hasn’t completely given up his love for Botox.

“I work out three or four times a week, I have Botox, take tons of vitamins and vitamin infusions – if you believe that these things work, you will feel better.”
