Simon Cowell: 'A medical test told me that I'll die when I'm 95'

Music mogul Simon Cowell has revealed that he recently underwent a specific kind of health test in Los Angeles that claims to be able to determine the age at which you will die. 

Cowell told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper that his results suggested that he will live to be 95-years-old:

"I had the DNA test done in LA which predicts when you’re going to die. They take your blood and DNA, then give you back a sheet of paper which says ‘We think you’re going to be alive until xxxx'. Obviously it doesn’t take account of the fact you might get hit by a bus tomorrow, but I got told I’d die aged 95 – which is about as good as you can expect."

"I think a lot of it is down to having a family now, and a lack of stress. I've learned to deal with stress much better now, things don't bother me in the way that they once used to. My heart, my lungs, my blood – they’ve all been checked."

Cowell, who is known for being quite a heavy smoker, went onto add that his addiction to cigarettes doesn't appear to have negatively impacted his life expectancy: "I remember one of the doctors almost being disappointed when he showed me the results because he couldn’t wait to tell me what smoking was doing to me. But there was nothing there."
