TV mogul Simon Cowell reportedly wants his son, Eric, to make a cameo appearance in One Direction band video.

"Simon was saying how much Eric loves playing on his little drum set and how he is already into music. He said he'd like to see his son in a One Direction video and thinks it'd be hilarious," a source told The Sun newspaper.

Although Cowell thinks an on-screen appearance with the band members, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan would be a great introduction to fame for the ten-month-old, it's hard to say if he was serious about the idea, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"With Simon it's always hard to tell whether he's being fully serious. But you also never know what he has up his sleeve. And he is certainly accustomed to getting his own way. So don't be surprised if the boys are not the youngest stars of their next video for a change." the source added.
