When Simon Cowell arrived at the America’s Got Talent Red Carpet on Tuesday, he surprised fans by showing off a trimmed down new figure. Turns out, the judge has shed 20 pounds over the past few months—all thanks to his new vegan diet.

Cowell is definitely feeling his svelte body. He told The Sun earlier this year, “If I was on a one to ten scale of being handsome, I was an eight and now I’ve gone to an 11.” Looks like he didn't lose an ounce of his modesty, though 😉.

The 59-year-old father has successfully cut out meat, dairy, wheat, and sugar. His new lifestyle was implemented after he suffered a fall due to low blood sugar in October 2017. Cowell told The Sun, “Sometimes we get a reminder that we’re not invincible, and this was certainly mine. It was huge shock…I’ve really got to take good care of myself to sort that out.”

Since then, he’s adhered to a strict vegan way of life. The star told Extra that his secret is avoiding the fad diets and crazy allergy tests. Instead he’s just going back to basics like raw vegetables, low sugar fruits, and lots of water. Cowell said he’s seen an improvement in his overall wellbeing. He explained, “Once you get used to it, it's easier. You feel better, my memory is better. So I didn’t find it difficult. I can still have beer, so I’m happy.”

Thankfully, the AGT judge didn’t have to cut out alcohol completely when he adopted veganism. So, let’s raise a glass to the man who discovered Harry Styles (💕) and Camila Cabello. We’re proud of you, dude…cheers to you.
