Simon Cowell can be many things from media mogul to mean -- but the creator of the upcoming FOX reality show the X-Factor is opening up to GQ for their September 2011 issue.
In the mag Simon dishes about his specific daily routine example here:
The Very Specific Real-life Routines of the 51-Year-Old Simon Cowell #2.
Each morning—as he breakfasts, has his morning bath, and prepares for the workday ahead—Cowell watches cartoons. Old cartoons. His favorites tend to be from the golden age of Hanna-Barbera. "It just puts me in a good mood," he explains. "It's less depressing than watching the news, which is just relentless. You've got to try it one morning. You'll be happy for the rest of the day."
Typically he finds them on cable, though he travels with backup DVDs, just in case. This morning it was The Flintstones followed by The Jetsons on the Cartoon Network. It turns out that he was paying attention, too: "The Flintstones was about Fred having a gambling habit, and he made a noise like a chicken every time he mentioned the word gambling, and he lost his money to the paperboy, and eventually Barney got him out of trouble. The Jetsons was about George being replaced by a robot. Eventually they put alcohol into his oil to scupper the robot, and he got his job back.
That's probably more about Simon than you ever wanted to know -- but dam it, aren't ya sure glad you know that now!!
The "cartoon-aholic" -- see he isn't so mean after-all!
