Elizabeth Hurley has revealed she felt ‘liberated’ stripping off for a racy scene in her son Damian’s directorial debut.
Titled Strictly Confidential, the film features the actress, 58, getting very steamy with another woman.
In the trailer, Elizabeth’s character Lily, can be seen being seduced by Natasha, played by young actress Pear Chiravara.
But rather than be embarrassed by the intimacy of the scene, the Austin Powers star explained that Damian, 21, put her at ease on set and described it as ‘relaxing’ having someone behind the camera who was ‘looking out’ for her.
Speaking to Access, Elizabeth explained: ‘The things that his script needed me to do weren’t necessarily things I’d always done in movies many times.

‘But having him there meant that I felt safe and looked-after, and I knew in [post production] he’d look after me.’
She added: ‘So actually it’s kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again.’
Meanwhile Damian told Access that whilst people found him shooting his mother in skimpy outfits ‘controversial’ he didn’t see it like that.
He said: ‘Showbusiness has been a fundamental part of my entire life. So to us, it’s not a thing. She takes my photos, I take hers.’
The mystery drama follows Mia, played by CBBC star Georgia Lock, as she is drawn into a ‘world of sex, duplicity and betrayal’ while trying to uncover the mystery surrounding her best friend Rebecca’s suicide.
The trailer shows Mia returning to the exotic Caribbean island where Rebecca died, and along with uncovering old passions, vows to learn the truth about her friend’s death.
It is not the first time Elizabeth has starred in one of her son’s projects. She also flew out to Saint Kitts and Nevis for his short film, The Boy on the Beach.
In 2018 she revealed the secret photographer behind her seemingly endless stream of bikini Instagram posts was in fact her only son.

She added that it was ‘liberating’ to work with family and she would consider it again, whilst he said he did not find their relationship ‘controversial’ which some people have voiced
Damian revealed his mother Elizabeth had ‘promised’ to star in his first picture years ago, and when it was greenlit, she ‘dropped everything’ to take part
Damian’s shadow is even visible in some of the images, where she frolics on the beach in a two-piece swimsuit.
She made the revelation after uploading a series of sizzling holiday snaps of herself braless and in a bikini for Valentine’s Day.
The actress, who rose to fame at 29 with her Estee Lauder cosmetics campaign, stunned her 833,000 followers with the suggestive images, but some were unsure how to take her confession, with several branding the relationship ‘weird’.
According to The Sun, Elizabeth said: ‘[Damian] definitely takes some, but I do have other friends that I can torture for some too.’
Strictly Confidential will be released in cinemas and on Prime Video on April 5.
