Why Simon Cowell thinks Eric could join 1D
The X Factor mogul has been showing off his 7-month-old son’s drumming skills - but has Eric got star quality?
Simon Cowell reckons his son Eric is bound for musical stardom and he’s already showing his prowess with a drum! The proud first-time dad uploaded a video of his 7-month-old playing with a toy drum while One Direction’s Story of My Life plays in the background.
"One Direction have just hired Eric as their new drummer," he joked on his Facebook page.
Drumstick in hand, Eric gives a big grin as children around him drum along to the music.
The video has had over 58,000 likes, so it looks like he already has the knack of pleasing a crowd!
A year ago, we wouldn’t have thought Simon would be the type to brag about how cute his son is. But his close friend Sinitta says that fatherhood has had a big impact on him.
"Becoming a father has been the making of Simon, it’s changed him," she said. "Baby Eric is a mini Simon and so adorable."
Awww. Looking at these pictures, we have to agree!
