Simon Cowell sat down with the Daily Mail to answer some questions about plastic surgery and about him being gay.

When asked if he's had any sort of plastic surgery including pec implants, Simon said, "No, absolutely not. I have not had cosmetic surgery. Yes, I've had Botox, but not in an obsessive way. Then again, every guy I know who works in the City has had it now."

He also said his hair is completely real and it's not a wig. He doesn't dye it and it's all his.

And the gay issue? "If I was, why hide it? It's not as if the music business would be an odd place for a gay man to work. And anyway, if I was trying to hide the fact that I was gay, I would be off playing rugby every Saturday, wouldn't I?"
