Simon Cowell is known for being a tough and brutally honest judge on TV talent shows. He is a producer and the creator of popular shows like *The X Factor* and *America’s Got Talent*, and he has done very well for himself throughout his career. Despite his tough TV persona, Simon Cowell is now a caring father. He has said that none of his $600 million fortune will go to his son, Eric. Instead, he plans to donate all of it to charity.
Simon Cowell is a very successful entertainment business owner, producer, and TV personality, known for judging talent competitions in both the UK and the United States. Now, he can add another role to his list: he is a father. Cowell became a father in 2014, a moment that he says changed him as a person. However, before the birth of his son, Eric, he mentioned in an interview that none of his $600 million fortune would be passed on to his son. He believes that passing down wealth to the next generation is not the right thing to do.
“I’m going to leave my money to someone—probably a charity, like kids and dogs,” Simon Cowell said in 2013. He believes in leaving a legacy instead of just passing down money to his son. Cowell thinks that helping his son develop a successful career is more important than giving him a lot of money.
“The goal is to give people opportunities so they can succeed, and to share your knowledge with them,” he explained. Simon Cowell’s net worth is around $600 million, and he plans to donate all of it to charity. He hasn’t decided which charity yet, but he mentioned it will likely be related to children or dogs.
Simon Cowell is not the only celebrity who has said their money will go to charity instead of their children. Famous TV anchor Anderson Cooper shares similar views. He welcomed his child via surrogacy in 2020 and said, “I don’t believe in passing on huge amounts of money. I’m not that interested in money, but I don’t plan to have a pot of gold for my son. My parents taught me that college will be paid for, and then he needs to get to work.”
One of the world’s richest people, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, has also promised that his children won’t inherit his billions. Most of his wealth, along with that of his ex-wife Melinda Gates, will go to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This foundation aims to eliminate poverty, hunger, and disease worldwide. Gates explained, “It’s not a favor to kids to give them huge sums of wealth. It can distort their path.”
Other celebrities who also believe in not passing down wealth include Jackie Chan, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Gordon Ramsay, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and Sir Elton John. Zuckerberg and his wife said on Facebook, “We have a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation. Our main focuses will be personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people, and building strong communities.”
Morena Baccarin hated kissing Ryan Reynolds and filming two-day sex scene with him in Deadpool
Morena Baccarin portrayed Ryan Reynolds’ on-screen love interest in the film.
You’d think an A-lister like Ryan Reynolds would make a lasting impact on anyone he kisses… but it appears you’d be mistaken.
Morena Baccarin spent two days kissing the Canadian star, comparing it to ‘kissing a gigantic latex condom’.
Blake Lively, if you’re reading this, before you see red and go ape s*** on your husband and baby daddy, remember that he was merely acting while filming Deadpool.
If you saw the 2016 film, you’re surely familiar with the sex’scene’, which is actually a collection of sequences showing a year of intimacy.
Baccarin was entrusted with kissing her on-screen spouse during the original Deadpool film and its 2018 sequel, when she played the protagonist’s fiancée, Vanessa Carlysle.
In fairness to the Wrexham owner, he was wearing a mask during the jam-packed sex scene montage, and Baccarin praised his professionalism throughout.
In the funny scene, the couple dress up in various clothing to honor the various seasons and holidays that occur throughout the year.
They celebrate Valentine’s Day, International Women’s Day, and Christmas, among other national holidays.
In 2017, Conan O’Brien interviewed Baccarin about the film, during which she discussed the X-rated two-day shoot.

She responded: “[The film] was really fun… minus the two days of sex scenes, it was wonderful, the whole experience.”
The Greenland star went on to say, “It took two days to shoot the sex scene since I believe we had been making beautiful love for a year. So it was all about the holidays, you know. “So we dressed differently for each person.”
Baccarin told People magazine in 2018 that Deadpool’s costume did little for Reynolds.
“I keep saying that kissing him in that mask is like kissing a giant latex condom,” she said.
“It basically just smells like rubber the entire time.”
That’s not what you want to hear from the person you’re kissing, right?
However, Baccarin has stated that her co-star’s professionalism made the entire situation acceptable.
“There is a lot of laughter. “That stuff is always uncomfortable,” she told Collider in 2015. “But, we made the best of it.”
Baccarin added, “By the end of the day, you’re like, ‘Okay, where do you want me, how do you-?’” You’re spreading your legs and saying whatever; it’s just that you become used to each other.”
Okay, I’m not exactly a kissing expert; in college, a friend overheard a girl I kissed at a party declare she ‘just had the worst kiss in her life’… but she didn’t call me a condom, did she? Yates 1-0 Reynolds.
