Simon Cowell reveals his hopes for Eric’s future

Simon Cowell has revealed he doesn't want his 15-month-old son to follow the same career path as him. 

During an interview on Good Morning Britain the X Factor judge has said he would prefer Eric to work behind a desk rather than in front of the cameras like he does.

He told Richard Arnold: "Yes, I would rather he do that, yes," he then joked he would send his son to work in seven or eight years. 

Continuing to speak about the future, Simon said: "I always believe in the apprentice thing, where you learn from other people and that's what I would say to him, which is absolutely start at the bottom and you get to find out who you like and how you communicate with people and that's what I would say to him. And be kind to animals!"

Aw, we love Simon's sensitive side. 

However, when your dad is working with the likes of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and One Direction, it may be a bit difficult to stay out of the spotlight.
