Oprah Winfrey Embarasses Simon Cowell With 1980s Picture

Simon Cowell was on Oprah Winfrey‘s show yesterday to talk candidly about himself and his life.

Cowell, 50, spoke about his romance with American Idol make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy, who escaped Afghanistan with her family in 1981 after the Soviet invasion and the rise of the Taliban forced her family to flee. He also admitted that he suffers from depression.

“I get very, very down,” Cowell said. “Pretty much depression. (But) what I always say is, “You’re taking yourself too seriously, so stop it.

“At the same time, you should never put a painted smile on. When you’re feeling down, you’re feeling down.”

He also discussed his reason for leaving American Idol, saying that after eight years he was bored, and was looking forward to launching his show X-Factor in the US.

Then Oprah pulled out some pictures.

After seeing this picture taken sometime in the Eighties, Simon said:

“It’s not a great look, is it? God, I had a mustache. And I wasn’t even a mechanic!”
