Simon Cowell is best known as a television personality and music industry professional. Here are some of his photos in honor of his birthday on October 7.
Simon Cowell is a long-time reality TV singing competition judge. His first claim to fame was being the blunt and tough judge on American Idol, known for his iconic phrase. “What the bloody hell was that?” Simon also established The X-Factor in England and in the U.S. He later launched Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent. He is credited with launching the careers of contestants who have appeared on the shows, including One Direction and Fifth Harmony.
Since Simon knows a thing or two about showbiz, he’s developed a whole fan base around the world for his humor and approach to discovering talent. In honor of his birthday today, we’re looking back at photos of him over the years in our gallery below!
