Elizabeth Hurley is a proud mother to her 20-year-old son, Damian, and in an exclusive interview with HELLO!, she shares her insights on raising him to be aware of women’s rights and important social issues. “I believe in leading by example,” she explains. “My son has witnessed my independence and the way I’ve carved my own path throughout his life.” This reflection comes as they celebrate International Women’s Day, a time dedicated to recognizing the importance of gender equality and empowerment.
The bond between Elizabeth and Damian is notably strong. Recently, she fulfilled a promise she made to him during his childhood—she appeared in his first major film project, “Strictly Confidential,” which he not only wrote but also directed. “Damian began making mini-movies when he was quite young, often featuring me and our close family friends,” she recalls with a smile. “I assured him that I would take part in his first real venture, and now I have a supporting role in this film as well.”
In addition to her involvement, she praises the rest of the cast, describing them as “young, gorgeous, and extremely talented.” As they continue to work through post-production, Elizabeth expresses her excitement: “I hope people will love the movie. I’ve truly enjoyed the entire process, and I’m eager to develop and produce more films and television shows in the future.”
Reflecting on her journey through motherhood, Elizabeth reveals how becoming a mother deeply transformed her life. After welcoming Damian, she chose to step back from her flourishing acting career for nearly eight years to dedicate herself to parenting. “I was in my mid-30s when I had him,” she shares. “Having spent enough time in the industry, I felt confident taking that break to be home with him.” During those formative years, Elizabeth also rediscovered a long-lost passion: gardening. She launched her swimwear brand, Elizabeth Hurley Beach, and embraced a slower pace of life in the countryside.
Her experiences as a mother have not only shaped her values but also influenced her professional aspirations, making her more determined than ever to cultivate creativity in both her personal and career paths.
