Third Age: Cowell joining older dads club could be beneficial to him and baby

Simon Cowell, the man, who had always said he was “too selfish’’ to have children, is apparently going to become a daddy at the age of 53. No wonder he is “freaked out’’ by the news.

For years, Cowell, the multi-millionaire music mogul and ‘X-Factor’ judge, has insisted there was simply no room in his perfect life for a child.

“God no, I couldn’t have children. If I had them here drawing on the walls I’d go nuts. With kids you’ve got a routine you can’t escape from. You’ve got to be up at a certain time. You have got to listen. When all you want to do is sit in a corner thinking,’’ he said in 2009.
