Simon Cowell’s Son Eric Has No Idea He Is Famous

It’s clear that Simon Cowell loves fame, but apparently he doesn’t take it home with him! According to the music and TV mogul, his 5-year-old son, Eric, has no idea his father is a celebrity.

“He’s very funny. I was with him yesterday and he said, ‘Daddy, how come everybody smiles at you?’ And I went, ‘No, it’s you! They all know your name.’” Simon told Us Weekly. “I said, ‘From the minute you were born, for some reason, everybody knew your first name.’ He went, ‘Really?’ I said, ‘Yeah! They knew your name.’ So I said, ‘It’s you!’”

The former American Idol judge added, “[Time flies] like you wouldn’t believe. … I said to someone the other day, ‘It’s much easier than I thought.’ And then you can’t imagine ever not having him. … It’s the most amazing feeling.”
