Simon Cowell has joked his son should be One Direction’s new drummer.
The music mogul shared an adorable video of the seven-month-old tot hitting a drum online earlier today (12.11.14), and praised his little one for his musical ability.
In a post on his official Facebook page, he quipped: "One Direction have just hired Eric as their new drummer."
The 55-year-old music mogul and his partner Lauren Silverman welcomed their first child into the world in February, and it seems he is already taking after his father when it comes to his passion for music, banging along to the band’s hit single ‘Story of My Life’.
The proud father is currently appearing as a judge on the eleventh series of the ‘X Factor’, but his close friend Sinitta has revealed that while he is not dishing out criticism to the competition’s hopefuls, he is spending lots of time playing with his toddler.
She gushed: "He’s crawling and moving around so much. Becoming a father has been the making of Simon, it’s changed him.
"Baby Eric is a mini Simon and so adorable."
However, when questioned on whether he thinks Eric’s loved-up parents are planning on getting hitched, she expressed her doubts.
She said: "I’m not sure if Simon will get married to Lauren."
The ‘So Macho’ singer added: "I think he and Lauren will definitely have more kids, they’re both great parents."
