Revealed: TV’s Mr Nasty polished axing skills early in career
American Idol judge Simon Cowell is notorious for killing the dreams of wannabe singers on the hit reality show.
But now his brother has revealed that one of the first jobs TV’s Mr Nasty ever had was polishing Jack Nicholson’s axe used in the creepy film The Shining.
Tony Cowell has told how the family used to live close to Britain’s Elstree Studios, where Simon took a menial job as a runner.
And one of his main jobs was polishing the axe used by Nicholson in the 1980 chiller thriller based on the Stephen King novel.
In one of its most famous scenes, Nicholson chops through a bathroom door with the axe while trying to murder his wife and son, yelling: “Here’s Johnny.”
Tony said his brother took great pride in polishing the axe: "You could see your face in it, it was so shiny!”
