Why Does Simon Cowell Always Wear Red Tinted Glasses?

Simon Cowell’s signature red-tinted glasses have left fans scratching their heads for years, with some wild theories swirling about their secret purpose.

Is it a cool fashion statement or a health mystery? Well, Simon finally cleared things up with a cheeky social media post!

Britain’s Got Talent New Season

Britain’s Got Talent returned for its 18th series last month, continuing its search for the UK’s most talented performer, or perhaps the one with the most compelling sob story. The show has introduced notable personalities like Susan Boyle, Paul Potts, and Diversity over the years. It features beloved hosts Ant and Dec, alongside judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and KSI.

This year’s Britain’s Got Talent series, which began in February, has already sparked plenty of discussion, including a near-fatal moment where Simon Cowell was “almost killed” by a sledgehammer during one of the show’s most dangerous acts.

Simon Cowell’s Red-Tinted Glasses Mystery

Viewers have been particularly puzzled by Simon Cowell’s accessories this year, as he continues to appear almost unchanged after 18 years on television. A mainstay on Britain’s Got Talent since its debut in 2007, as well as The X Factor, Simon’s youthful appearance has led to speculation, with some joking that he might be using a mysterious anti-aging injection.

In recent years, Simon Cowell has been spotted wearing a pair of distinctive red glasses, leading some fans to speculate about his health.

Why Does He Wear Them?

Simon Cowell, 65, reassured followers last year that there was no need for concern about his health. He explained the reason for wearing the red-tinted glasses in a social media post after missing a few auditions during filming.

Simon Cowell clarified in a social media post that the “mystery illness” rumors were false. He explained that he missed two auditions due to migraines caused by long days under filming lights, and confirmed that the red glasses he wears help with this condition.

Could it Be Anything Else?

Given the unique acts and powerful singing voices on Britain’s Got Talent over the years, Simon Cowell’s migraines may be also influenced by the performances. However, he has already used his golden buzzer this year, praising the powerful voice of Vinnie McKee.

Britain’s Got Talent airs on ITV and ITVX every Saturday at 7 pm and is expected to continue for another two months. Are you currently watching the show?
