Meet Elizabeth Hurley’s son, who followed in his mother’s footsteps and recently made his directorial debut, but faced controversy. Read on to learn more about his personal life, including how his father demanded a paternity test, and about his career.

Damien Hurley and his mother, Elizabeth Hurley, are so similar that people say they look the same, especially when comparing his photos with those of his mom before he became famous. At a young age, he was already directing a film where his mother played the main character. However, this project has caused some controversy.

His first feature film, Strictly Confidential, was not only his directorial debut, but also the fulfillment of a long-standing promise made by his mother Elizabeth.

When her son was only eight years old, while working on a short film, Elizabeth assured her son that she would play the main role in his first major project. True to her word, she “gave up everything” to join him in the Caribbean on the set of the sensual thriller Strictly Confidential.
