In a surprising new revelation, music mogul and television personality Simon Cowell has opened up about his latest venture into extreme wellness, detailing a procedure where his blood was 'rinsed' and 'filtered' at a specialised clinic. The 66-year-old 'American Idol' judge shared these intimate details in a candid interview with The Sun, as part of his ongoing quest for better health and sustained energy.
The Blood 'Rinsing' Procedure
Cowell described the unusual process with remarkable clarity. "I go to this place, this wellness clinic, where they actually take your blood, they rinse it, they filter it and then they put it back into your body," he told the publication. While he did not specify the medical name for the treatment, his account bears a strong resemblance to a process known as apheresis. This treatment has recently gained traction in celebrity circles, with actor Orlando Bloom also disclosing in July that he underwent a similar blood 'cleaning' to rid his body of microplastics.
Despite its popularity among the rich and famous, a report from The Times has indicated that "no meaningful studies" have proven the procedure's effectiveness. Cowell, however, seems convinced of its benefits, linking it to a broader lifestyle overhaul that includes a better diet, more exercise, reduced stress, and specific supplements.
A Shift Away from Cosmetic Procedures
This is not the first time Cowell has made headlines for his attempts to turn back the clock. He reflected on a period where he went overboard with cosmetic enhancements. "There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far," he admitted, recalling a 2022 interview. The turning point came when his own son, Eric, found his altered appearance frightening. "Eric was in hysterics," Cowell said, which was the final push he needed to stop using injectables entirely. "Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero."
His experimentation even led him to briefly consider cryogenic freezing, but he quickly abandoned the idea after learning the gruesome details. "I found out they chop your head off, so you come back in 2,000 years as a floating head," he explained, showcasing his trademark dry humour.
The Next Big Project
Beyond his personal health journey, Simon Cowell is channeling his energy into his professional life. He is gearing up to launch a new global talent search titled "Simon Cowell: The Next Act." This ambitious project aims to discover and create the next major boy band, over a decade after he propelled groups like One Direction and Fifth Harmony to international stardom with Leona Lewis.
Through his blend of wellness experiments and a return to his roots in talent discovery, Cowell continues to be a figure of immense public fascination, constantly reinventing both his personal routine and his professional legacy.
