Elizabeth Hurley relied on her son to capture her best angles while filming racy sex scenes in her latest movie, “Strictly Confidential.”
Hurley, 58, admitted she felt “safe and looked after” with her 21-year-old son, Damian, guiding her through scenes she wasn’t necessarily used to as an actress.
Damian made his directorial debut with the erotic thriller which focused on haunted young woman who becomes fixated on the death of her best friend.

“I was 20 when we wrote it,” Damian told Access Hollywood. “We went out to the Caribbean, and we made it in 18 days – it was terrifying.”

“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,” Elizabeth said.
The hot-and-heavy trailer released in February featured Hurley kissing her co-star Pear Chiravara during a steamy sex scene.

Damian, who has been known to capture his mom’s bikini photos for social media, admitted seeing his mom’s body is not that big of a deal.
“People find this really controversial,” he said. “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.
“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.

“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 added, “I knew that in production, in the post, I knew he would look after me. So actually, it’s kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again.”
Damian noted that their work together on the silver screen would be the “first of many.”
“We kind of felt in our comfort zone,” he added.
