LONDON: Music mogul Simon Cowell has addressed widespread speculation about his weight loss, confirming that he has never used injections like Ozempic or Wegovy to shed pounds.
In a recent interview tied to his Netflix docuseries The Next Act, Cowell said, “I’ve never been tempted, sorry,” dismissing rumors that his transformation was chemically assisted.
Instead, he attributes his dramatic change to discipline and lifestyle adjustments, including:
A strict 1,000-calorie-a-day diet
Hundreds of push-ups daily
Four baths a day
Cutting out sugar, dairy, red meat, and gluten
Following intermittent fasting with occasional treat days
Cowell’s revelation comes at a time when weight loss injections are trending, with many celebrities and regular users embracing GLP-1 drugs for rapid results.
By rejecting the popular trend, Cowell positions himself as an outlier in Hollywood, relying solely on exercise, diet, and disciplined habits to maintain his physique.
The interview also highlighted the growing celebrity adoption of Ozempic and similar GLP-1 medications for slimming down, a topic that continues to dominate headlines.
