London, Feb 23 : Simon Cowell wants to have his body frozen after he dies because he is convinced that one day technology will bring him back to life.

The `X Factor' judge announced his plans to Premier Gordon Brown at a Downing Street dinner.

"I've decided to have myself frozen when I die. You know, cryogenics," the Daily Star quoted Cowell, as saying.

"You pay a load of money and you get stuck in a deep-freeze once you've been declared dead.

"Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so and I want to be available when they do.

"I would be doing the nation an invaluable service," he added.

However, Brown was not so sure he would like to be frozen for the future.

He joked: "I am not sure me coming back from the dead would be quite as popular as Simon. In fact, there may be a public campaign to stop me being frozen!" (ANI)
