Professional reality show judge Simon Cowell hit the red carpet this week for the America’s Got Talent season 14 live show at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood looking like a new man. Literally.
The 59-year-old recently reported making a healthy change in his diet after he fell down the stairs in the middle of the night in 2017 and it has resulted in his losing around 20 pounds.
“If I was on a one to ten scale of being handsome, I was an eight and now I’ve gone to an 11,” Cowell told The Sun about the change, adding, “Within 24 hours I changed my diet and I’ve not looked back since. You feel better, you look better.”
It’s nice that he feels that way, but to numerous people on the internet he now just looks… unsettling.

“Someone please stop working and talk to me about what in the living f**k simon cowell has done to his face,” tweeted comedian Alise Morales.

Cowell says he doesn’t care what people think, telling The Daily Star, “These are people who sit in dark rooms anonymously because they won’t put their real names – which I think is cowardly – writing horrible things about you.”
Real names or not, people were certainly freaked out, making numerous comparisons and coming up with dozens of theories about what happened to Cowell’s face.

It looks like some fucking dream version of Simon Cowell where everything is just slightly off.
