Even though his message seemed calming for his fans, things weren’t really as positive as they might have been. Speaking with ExtraTV, Cowell explained that he was shocked once he saw the X-ray.
“I knew I’d broken my back the minute I landed. It was really, really kind of sudden and it hurt,” he said. “It could have been a lot worse. When I saw the X-ray, I really nearly could have smashed my spine to pieces, so I literally wouldn’t have been able to walk.”
“I was thinking, ‘I’ve got to get back into the house because I can’t lie there’, and made myself kind of get carried into my bedroom, which is right there at the beginning of the house, and I’m lying there and I’m kind of passing out … It was surreal,” he said.
Simon Cowell reveals his son Eric’s words after surgery
Simon Cowell was said to have been testing a new electric bike with son Eric. The hardest part for him was recovering from the accident at home, which he thought was embarrassing to do in front of his son.
“I was so embarrassed about coming home looking about 100 because I couldn’t walk, and I have these metal rods in my back and these screws,” Cowell explained. “
I said, ‘Lauren, I just don’t know how to explain it to Eric.’ She obviously said something to him because he came in, and I was lying in bed, and he said, ‘Daddy, you’re like Ironman,’ and I thought that was the sweetest thing, and it meant a lot.”
Recovering from the accident has taken some time. However, it also has shown us all that Cowell is very determined, doing all he can to get back to normal. And he’s done it in a very impressive way.
According to Daily Mail, Simon has been walking over 40 miles each week to help with his recovery from his injury. He holds business meetings every morning, and walks for several hours each day. The music mogul sure is doing everything he can to get back to normal, and others are also impressed.
“He feels fitter than ever before and is keeping to a normal routine rather than being on the phone until into the early hours of the morning,” the source said.
Simon Cowell son
Through building his empire, Simon has earned himself a multimillion-dollar fortune. However, it turns out that the musician doesn’t want to share the money with his child. It’s essential to learn the importance of money, and if you have parents with a considerable fortune, things can be expected to be easier, right?
“I’m going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably — kids and dogs. I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another,” Simon told The Mirror and added:
“Your legacy has to be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”
Today, Simon Cowell has only one child – 10-year-old Eric. When Simon Cowell met Eric’s mother, Lauren Silverman, she was married to one of Cowell’s close friends, Andrew Silverman. In 2013, news broke that the couple were expecting their first child together. Lauren was still married to Andrew but by the end of the year, they divorced.
“It is not something I am proud of”
On Valentine’s Day, 2014, Eric was born, and while Cowell was overjoyed to become a father, he struggled with it initially. Simon, who never expected to be a father, wasn’t proud of his affair.
“It is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone. It just happened,” he said.
But today, he couldn’t be happier. In many ways, the father-son-duo is very alike. According to Simon, they appreciate the same things – Scooby Doo, Disney movies, and laughing at the dogs. Continue reading…
