Elizabeth Hurley spoke about how she felt about her son, Damian, directing her lesbian sex scenes in the upcoming film, “Strictly Confidential,” and her response might shock you.
The famous star relied on her son to capture her best angles and actively direct her racy sex scenes during his directorial debut, and she said she liked it so much she would do it again. Hurley went on to call the experience “liberating,” and said it made her feel “safe” knowing her son was calling the shots when the scenes got steamy. Damien agreed, saying, “We kind of felt in our comfort zone,” during a recent interview with Access Hollywood.

The erotic thriller includes intimate scenes between Hurley and co-star Pear Chiravara during a steamy sex scene, and Hurley’s 21-year-old son was setting up the positions and crafting every moan and groan. The mother-and-son team seemed unphased by the experience.
“People find this really controversial,” Damian said, as he attempted to normalize the situation.
“We’re in the business. Showbusiness has been a fundamental part of my entire life, so for us, it’s just not a thing. It’s just part of business. She takes my photos, I take her photos,” he said.

Hurley added her perspective to the matter, and also spoke of how natural the experience was for her.
“But I’m relaxed in front of him, too,” Elizabeth said.
“He looks out for me. I do have to be photographed in bikinis because it is one of my businesses — who likes to be photographed in bikinis? No one,” she said.

“It’s just, it’s relaxing knowing someone’s behind the camera who looks out for you, which was the same on this movie in a way, because you know the things that his script needed me to do in this weren’t necessarily things I had always done in movies many times before, but having him there meant that I felt safe and looked after,” she told Access Hollywood.
“I knew that in production, in the post, I knew he would look after me,” she said. “So actually, it’s kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again.”

The pair spoke of the promise Hurley made to her son when he was a young boy.
“He always said, ‘If I ever get to make a real film, will you be in it?’ And I said, ‘Absolutely, your first film, I will definitely be in,'” Hurley said.
Damian wrote the script for “Strictly Confidential” when he was 20 years old, during the COVID-19 lockdown period. (RELATED: Elizabeth Hurley Gets Into Steamy Lesbian Scene In Her Son’s Movie ‘Strictly Confidential’)
“We went out to the Caribbean, and we made it in 18 days — it was terrifying,” he told Access Hollywood.
