“Simon Cowell has had so much work done he now looks like a ventriloquist dummy,” noted a fourth user. “He can only move his face from top lip down.”

“Simon Cowell’s face looks so scary these days #saturdaynighttakeaway,” said another person.

Over the years, the “AGT” judge has been open about his quest to look younger, including getting a 2018 facelift and numerous facials.

But in April 2022, Cowell said that he was done with Botox.

“There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far. I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day, and didn’t recognize it as me first of all,” he said in an interview, before admitting that his then-8-year-old son, Eric, was “in hysterics” about his overly filled face.

“Enough was enough,” the media personality said. “There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero.”

However, a few months later, Cowell exclusively told Page Six, that he hadn’t completely given up on cosmetic enhancements.

“I reduced it, let’s put it that way,” he said. “Everything in moderation.”

Cowell suffered a serious medical mishap in 2020 when he fell off a $20,000 E-bike and broke his back in three places.

The accident could have left him paralyzed.

He previously admitted to Page Six that he was “officially nuts” for continuing to ride his E-bike without a helmet.
