So Ellen. Yes, Simon. It's been a while. It's good to see you. Likewise. You are-- you've dropped
some pounds, right? I have, yeah. What are you doing? Well, I was told-- I have a producer, who
one of the producers who works with us on AGT. And he has a sort of a way of
saying to me I look terrible, without saying I look terrible. So when he says things like
get your haircut shorter, that means you look
terrible, Simon. Sort yourself out. So I went to see this doctor in
London, and we did some tests. And then a month later, he
said you have the worst diet I've ever met from any patient. So I went OK, so out of
the smoking, the drinking, the diet, what do
I have to drop? He said, the diet. So I said, all right. I'm in. Following day. So you're still
drinking and smoking. Yeah. What did you-- What's your diet now? It's pretty much all the
things I loved I can't now eat. So no dairy, no sugar,
no bread, no gluten. Just lots of lots of things. No red meat. Well, all those things
are bad for you. So it's a good thing you
dropped all those things. But that's fantastic
that you are doing-- you're actually doing it. Because if you
love those things, it's hard to drop
things that you're addicted to eating every day. You know what? I got to be honest with you. It was easier than I thought. And part of the reason I
did it was because Eric is five this year. So I realized that if I didn't
sort myself out, physically, I wouldn't be able
to catch up with him. Because the minute he
goes-- he wakes up, for the minute he goes to sleep. You know, he is
like their energy. You forget, five years
old, it's phenomenal. I have a puppy. You know what I mean. And I have four. So I get it. That's the-- that's great that
you're doing that though-- What is that picture? Have you not seen that picture? That's not one of the
best I've ever seen. Do you know why we
do these pictures? Because I actually don't
like having my picture taken. And Lauren, my partner,
everywhere we go, she says can we do a picture? So I said to Eric, I've
got a good solution. Just stick your tongue out
every time we do a picture. And we don't have to
do so many pictures. But you're not sticking
your tongue out there. I wasn't aware I was
being photographed. That's really sweet. You seem very happy. I'm happy to see you. And so do you. Yeah. Thank you. I am. I'm very happy. So you're brilliant. You're a businessman. You're very successful
in many, many ways. There-- there's a decision
that you completely-- I'm trying to help you. Last time you were
here, I saw that you weren't wearing a helmet
when you were bicycling. I've been wearing it. No. I saw pictures of
you not wearing it. Where's the picture? I saw a picture of
you not wearing it. This is recently. That's your helmet. You're not wearing a helmet. Your helmet, if you
remember, had real hair. That's your helmet. That is not-- The point is, all of you
should be wearing helmets. Eric was wearing a helmet. But me and Lauren
weren't, I will concede. Look, he's wearing a helmet. OK, so when you and Lauren-- --and so is Lauren, look. Lauren's wearing a hat. It's quite a hard one. So it's good. So when the two of you fall
off, and you're unconscious he's wandering around by
himself with a helmet on. That's what's going to happen. Where-- you got
to wear a helmet. Alright, I'll do it. I mean, you've given
up things in your diet. Good. I appreciate that. You want to talk about
your birthday coming up? Do we have to? Yeah. OK. When is it. October 7? And you're going to be? 60. 60. [APPLAUSE] How do you feel about it? I feel actually great. The only thing is that
I've never actually liked celebrating my birthday. So I said to Lauren, can we just
make one agreement this year. We don't make like a
big deal out of it, just do something quiet. No birthday cake. And I'll just get through it. Well you can't eat it anyway. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. But you should celebrate that. I mean, that is-- it's amazing. Because I'm 61, and
when I turned 60, it's like you just--
you just really think that 60, when you're
younger, is so old. And then you hit it,
and you're like it is. You know? That's encouraging. All right. I'm going to try one more time. This is your birthday present. This is the last
time I'm trying this. OK. All right. It's a hat, isn't it? Yep. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] This is worse than the last one. Oh no, I can't. I can't. I'll wear the old one. That's backwards, by the way. OK. It looks just as bad. All right. You sure you don't
want to wear that? Never. OK, well. 60-year-old Simon Cowell. Under here. Oh, great. The finale of AGT airs
September 18 at 8:00.
