Simon Cowell, the notoriously sharp-tongued judge from X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, has stunned fans by revealing he's 'never been angry' in his life. The music mogul, known for his brutally honest critiques, shared the surprising insight during a recent interview.
'I don't get angry – I just don't,' Cowell stated matter-of-factly. 'People assume I'm this angry person because of how I come across on TV, but that's just not me.'
The Secret Behind Cowell's Zen-Like Calm
According to the 64-year-old TV personality, his unflappable nature stems from a simple philosophy: 'Life's too short to waste energy on anger.' He credits his ability to stay composed even in high-pressure situations to this mindset.
'In this business, you deal with massive egos, huge disappointments, and constant criticism,' Cowell explained. 'If I reacted to everything, I'd have been out of the industry years ago.'
From Tough Judge to Mellow Mentor
Fans will remember Cowell's infamous put-downs that made him a household name. However, the music executive insists his harsh critiques were never personal. 'It was always about the performance, never the person,' he clarified.
These days, Cowell says he's mellowed even further, taking on more of a mentor role for aspiring artists. 'I've learned that encouragement often works better than criticism,' he admitted.
Could this be the start of a softer Simon Cowell era? Only time will tell, but one thing's certain – the man behind some of TV's most memorable moments is far more chilled than his on-screen persona suggests.
