The future TV star knew the value of small steps.
No one recognized Simon Cowell while still enjoying the moment of stardom in a film of unspeakable scale. A seemingly insignificant role was enough for the rising star to tell everyone about.
More than ten years ago, Simon’s brother Tony Cowell said his sibling was the runner of “The Shining”. As The Telegraph reported, the “X Factor” judge used to polish Jack Nicholson’s special tool, the ax. Simon’s past hard work was enough to make Tony proud.
But after the business representative’s controversial stories, his brother voiced some unpleasant things.
“He did plenty of menial jobs in those days and he even worked as a runner on “The Shining”. I well remember him saying he used to clean Jack Nicholson's axe in between takes for the most famous scenes. He took great pride in it, you could see your face in it, it was so shiny. It's a far cry from where he is now. I think the only thing he shines these days are his teeth.”
