If there’s one person getting equal (if not more!) press coverage to Kim Kardashian for their constantly changing – and often confusing – appearance, it’s Simon Cowell, as the 63-year-old Britain’s Got Talent judge has once again got his fans talking about his face on social media!

The X Factor judge’s appearance became a hot topic of discussion on Instagram on August 10th, when he shared a video of himself congratulating former X Factor contestants One Direction for reaching one billion streams for their debut song “What Makes You Beautiful” on Spotify. But as excited as the band’s fans were about the remarkable achievement, a lot of the comments section was dominated by Cowell’s fans talking about his appearance.

Simon Cowell’s Fans Comment On His Appearance On Instagram: ‘What On Earth Has Happened To Your Face?’

“Whatever he has done to his face I’m not liking it one bit,” one person wrote in the comments section. “What on earth has happened to your face?” asked another fan, to which many replied with their own thoughts.

“It’s called too much plastic surgery,” one fan replied, as another simply wrote, “Botox,” and someone else added, “Botox fail.” “Too much Botox,” added another fan, as someone else thought his appearance could be down to “too much fillers.”

“It’s not Botox though – it’s massive amounts of surgery,” speculated another fan, while many others said he looked better before the alleged cosmetic surgery. “You used to look good before the plastic Simon,” said another, which someone else agreed with, adding, “Simon you are already handsome. Just stop doing plastic surgery.”

Previous Fan Concerns About Simon Cowell's Appearance

Cowell's appearance sparked concern from fans when he attended the Together For Short Lives Ball in London on Friday, March 3rd, in support of the charity which supports young people affected by life-threatening conditions. While his appearance at the event itself did spark *some* concern, it was the "unrecognizable" pap pictures of him and 46-year-old partner Lauren Silverman arriving at and leaving the ball that caused the biggest stir online.

The music mogul is a patron of the Together For Short Lives charity and hosted the star-studded fundraiser. He was also very generous, reportedly bidding £22,000 for a piece of Nelson Mandela artwork and also, according to The Mirror, agreeing to donate a "big percentage" of profits from his latest TV show to the charity. However, it was somewhat overshadowed by the pap pics.

In the comments section of a March 4th post on the official Mirror Instagram account, one fan said the "Botox has to stop," while another harshly said, "All the money in the world and his waxwork looks better." Ouch! "Who’s had more surgery Simon or Rob Lowe?" one fan asked. "What has he done to his face?" asked another confused fan, adding, "Whatever it was it's not making him look younger nor better, just weird." Another fan added: "Looks awful why do people do this to themselves?" "He looks terrible," commented another Instagram user, followed by two crying laughing emojis.

Simon Cowell Then And Now

Cowell's appearance has been discussed a lot over the past year, with a teaser video for Britain's Got Talent shared in December 2022 causing huge concern among fans as they said he looked "unrecognizable" in the video, with one fan saying his face looked like it was "melting." "What has happened to Simon Cowell?" one fan wrote on Twitter at the time, adding, "He has turned into one of the thunderbird characters!" "Looks anorexic and heavily filtered," another Twitter user wrote.

It isn’t just his face that has caused concern from fans, as his ever-shrinking waistline has been discussed a lot over the past few months. Cowell opened up about his 60-lb weight loss in an interview with The Sun in April 2022, saying he "re-evaluated" his diet, which included reducing his consumption of meat and cutting out sugar. He also told the pub that he "used to binge on sausage rolls, hamburgers and his favorite jam tarts made by his personal chefs," and was therefore able to "drop four waist sizes" by removing those foods.
