Simon Cowell says he no longer has face fillers after they made him look 'like something out a horror film'

• Simon Cowell said that he had gone "a bit too far" with fillers in the past.
• The television personality said that they made him look "like something out of a horror film."

Simon Cowell said that he doesn't have any filler in his face anymore, noting that an old photo of him with facial fillers was unrecognizable.

The 62-year-old former "American Idol" judge told British outlet The Sun that he had gone "a bit too far" at one point with face fillers, saying that they made him look "like something out of a horror film."

"I saw a picture of me from 'before' the other day, and didn't recognize it as me first of all," Cowell told The Sun, saying that his 8-year-old son Eric was "in hysterics."

"Enough was enough," Cowell continued. "There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero."

Cowell has spoken about using Botox in the past, telling The Mirror in 2019 that he had overdone it at one point in his life. The "Britain's Got Talent" judge said that he and his costars on the series, like Amanda Holden, were puzzled by how much they had done in the past, questioning what they were thinking.

"I love watching 'the Botox years,'" Cowell told The Mirror. "All of us are like, 'Christ, we had a lot that year. Not so much that year... maybe a bit too much that year."

Cowell has undergone other cosmetic procedures in the past as well. The Sun reported in 2018 that Cowell had undergone a face-lift procedure that involved tugging a bioplastic-infused thread that has been sewn into the face in order to get rid of sagging skin. Cowell told The Sun at the time that while the procedure "hurt like hell," it was an option other than face filler and Botox.

"There was a phase where everyone was having their faces pumped full of this and the other," Cowell told The Sun in 2022. "But actually, for me now, a lot of it comes down to healthy eating and drinking tons of water."
