Demi Lovato on Simon Cowell: “He’s a humble guy”

Demi Lovato has opened up about her fellow ‘The X Factor’ USA judge Simon Cowell, saying that the music mogul is “a humble guy”.

Speaking to heat magazine she said: "I expected him to be a lot more intimidating. And I mean that in a humbling way, because when people think of Simon Cowell, they think like, 'Oh, the big boss, he's mean to people' or whatever, but he's super down-to-earth ... Actually I don't know about down-to-earth!

"He's pretty fancy, but he's a humble guy. When he walks in a room, it doesn't matter if you're the biggest celebrity or the biggest big-shot in the room, he'll treat you the same as the person who's coming into the room to bring you tea. I thought that was pretty cool."

She added: "The jeans he wears are torn up at the bottom and you can tell that they're not brand new. So there are parts of him that are super-fancy and then other parts that are super down-to-earth."

Despite the age difference, the pair are good friends on the show. They even have nicknames for each other. 

She laughed: "He calls me Gobby, and I guess that means that I talk a lot or something. I call him Grampa or Grandma."
