The “America’s Got Talent” judge told talkRADIO that he is taking the youngster to Disneyland Paris next weekend and they will “100 percent be wearing masks” to protect from COVID-19.

“And we’ll have loads of hand sanitizer because it does scare me,” Cowell, 60, told interviewer Dan Wootton, who is The Sun’s executive editor.

“I am terrified about it.”

Cowell said the virus’ spread is just like the plot of a movie. “We’re seeing it right in front of our eyes right now. It does worry me,” he said.
