Elizabeth Hurley admits she felt ‘safe’ stripping for sex scenes directed by her son

“People find this really controversial,” the neophyte writer/director shared while further explaining that show business has “been a fundamental part of my entire life so for us it’s just not a thing, it’s part of business.”

Elizabeth concurred with her son, sharing that he puts her at ease.

“I’m relaxed in front of him,” she said. “He looks after me…it’s relaxing knowing someone is behind the camera who looks out for you.”

The movie, which Damian also wrote, centers around a group of friends and family returning to an island one year after a loved one (Lauren McQueen) seemingly dies by suicide.

But things are not as they seem and McQueen’s cause of death may have been a result of foul play.

Damian gushed about working with his mother on Instagram in December 2022.

“I want to worship @ElizabethHurley1 who, during the making of my first ever short film back in 2010 (when I was 8) promised me she’d be in my first feature; true to her word, the minute this film was greenlit, Mama dropped everything and raced out to the beautiful Caribbean to help,” he wrote at the time.

He continued enthusing, “Working together was a dream.”

“This has genuinely been the most incredible experience, both professionally and personally. I’ve made lifelong friends and learnt many valuable lessons I’m so so proud of this film,” he added.

“The Royals” alum has long had a close relationship with her only child, whose father was the late businessman Steve Bing.

He died by suicide in 2020 at age 55 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
