Inside Liz Hurley's close relationship with son Damian, who filmed her raunchy sex scenes
Actress Elizabeth Hurley may be best known for her Austin Powers role but more recently she caused a stir with her intense sex scenes – directed by son Damian.
Liz, 58, is incredibly close to Damian, with the 21-year-old filmmaker taking all of her beach bikini pictures which she shares with her 2.9million Instagram followers.
Despite knowing how close they are, fans were still a little taken aback at her role in Strictly Confidential, which is Damian's directorial debut, where Liz stripped down for a steamy scene with Pear Chiravara.
Reportedly the Gossip Girl actress 'dropped everything' to star in her only child's movie, released on April 5, after making him a promise when he was eight.
Clearly, the duo are very comfortable around each other and are constantly out and about together for events, arm-in-arm and smiling.
From paternity tests to 'liberating' sex scenes, here's everything you need to know about Liz and her lookalike son Damian.
Who is Liz Hurley's son?
Born on April 2, 2002, Damian Hurley is an actor and model just like his mum and boasts impressive godparents, including his mum's ex, Hugh Grant, as well as David Beckham, Elton John, and Denis Leary.
At just 16, he was signed to Tess Management and began modelling alongside a minor role on E!'s series The Royals, which ran for four seasons with Liz starring as the Queen.
The next year Damian landed a modelling gig for makeup artist to the stars Pat McGrath, fronting her 'Sublime Perfection' campaign.
He told Vogue at the time: 'When I was 17, I got a call saying that [fashion photographer] Steven Meisel wanted me in New York the next day to front a new campaign. I'd never modelled before, but in a moment of madness I agreed, flew out, did the shoot and made it back to school in time for my first class on Monday.'
In 2020 he was signed to IMG Models, who manage the likes of Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, and Gigi and Bella Hadid.
He has written and directed one short film, The Boy on the Beach, before leaping into his feature-length movie, Strictly Confidential.
Who is Damian Hurley's father?
In 2002, Liz announced she was expecting her first child after splitting from businessman Steve Bing, who denied paternity.
Bing, who died in 2020 aged 55, insisted on a paternity test at the time, claiming they had had a brief non-monogamous romance the year before.
The test proved Steve Bing was Damian's father, but the relationship remained strained until his death, which the then 18-year-old called 'confusing'.
Liz paid tribute to Bing, sharing snaps of them together over the years and writing: 'I am saddened beyond belief that my ex Steve is no longer with us. It is a terrible end.'
'In the past year we had become close again,' the Runaways star continued. 'We last spoke on our son's 18th birthday.'
Damian added: 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has reached out following the devastating news. This is a very strange and confusing time and I'm immensely grateful to be surrounded by my phenomenal family and friends.'
From the age of nine, he considered Shane Warne a father figure, as the cricketer was engaged to Liz and the family lived in Australia part-time.
What has Liz Hurley said about her relationship with Damian?
In June 2022, Damian attended his first fashion show with his mum, who shared with People: 'He had never been to one. So I think for us to go to one together … was really great.'
While it was revealed back in 2018 that it was her son behind the camera for her steamy bikini snaps, the recent raunchy scene prompted them to defend their comfort levels.
'The things that his script needed me to do weren't necessarily things I'd always done in movies many times,' Liz told Access.
'But having him there meant that I felt safe and looked after, and I knew in (post-production) he'd look after me. So, actually, it's kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again.'
Damian added that he didn't find it 'controversial' to direct his mum in the scenes, explaining: 'Showbusiness has been a fundamental part of my entire life.
'So to us, it's not a thing. She takes my photos, I take hers.'
He previously told German show Exclusiv: 'Mum filled the role of 800 parents at the same time. We are so close. Sometimes like siblings.'
On Instagram, Liz wrote: 'When you burst into my life, you made it better in every conceivable way. You are my unique, glorious son and I am so proud of you and love you with every fibre of my being.'
