Simon Cowell recently lost 60 pounds, and some fans are expressing their “concerns” for his health.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 63, was photographed leaving the show’s auditions event at the London Palladium this week, and according to one fan on Twitter, “looking much slimmer.” The American Idol alum donned a dark gray fitted t-shirt with black pants and accessorized with his go-to aviator sunglasses at the show’s launch as well.

Simon Cowell Spotted Looking ‘Slimmer’ After Leaving BGT Auditions
In April of 2022, Cowell opened up about his weight loss to The Sun, noting that this wasn’t through a gastric band, but rather, through a reevaluated diet, including reduced meat intake and cutting out sugar.
He also stressed he avoids red meat, but still treats himself to a light beer from time to time. He also said that removing dairy or gluten from his daily intake impacted his weight loss. “Cutting all that out is what has made a difference, genuinely,” he told the outlet.

The X Factor creator also dished to the publication that while he “used to binge on sausage rolls, hamburgers and his favorite jam tarts made by his personal chefs,” he now has been able to “drop four waist sizes” by removing these foods from his intake.
Speaking to The Sun, Cowell said, “The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think ‘wow’.”

Fan Reactions To Cowell’s New Figure
Fans seem to keep thinking ‘wow’ as well as they express their “disbelief” in his “different look.” As one fan recently tweeted, “Simon Cowell is unrecognisable what a state, looks like a wax works mess,” as someone else added, “Simon Cowell looks good but super different.” Another chimed in, “good for him but doesn’t he look too skinny?!”
Others seemed to focus on his plastic surgery history, as one wrote, “did he get another facelift?” As far as what procedures he had done, Cowell also explained to The Sun that he had a facelift in 2018.

Upon reflection, he recognized there were benefits, but ultimately, the cons outweighed the pros when it came to his personal life. “There’s lots of things you can do now. You don’t just have to stuff your face with filler and Botox,” Cowell said, “It hurts like hell, but it gets rid of sun damage and unplugs all the crap.”
Last year, he said to the publication, “There was a phase where everyone was having their faces pumped full of this and the other,” he continued, “But actually, for me now, a lot of it comes down to healthy eating and drinking tons of water.”
