HURLEY’S NEW MANE EVENT: Like mother like son, Elizabeth Hurley’s son Damian is all-systems-go with his modeling career.
The 21-year-old has switched camps and just signed a deal with The Lions Management. Until recently, the younger Hurley was represented by IMG. The 21-year-old London-born model and actor made his acting debut in 2016. At that time, he was cast as “Prince Hansel von Liechtenstein” in the E! series “The Royals.” His ever-fashionable mother starred as the series’ Queen of England. He has more than 154,000 followers on Instagram alone.

The model-actor is also the son of the late real estate heir, producer and director Steve Bing, who died in 2020. With shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes, Hurley stands at 6 feet, 1 inch and bears a striking resemblance to his famous mother. He broke onto the fashion scene at the age of 17, after locking up a one-year exclusive deal with the much sought-after photographer Steven Meisel. Beauty maven Pat McGrath helped to raise Hurley’s profile by plucking the young model to be in her campaign for the release of the inclusive foundation line Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection.
More recently, Hurley has worked with other notable photographers in the industry like Mert and Marcus and Luigi and Iango. A self-described writer-director, Hurley continuing to add to his modeling portfolio.
The Lions’ founder and managing partner Ali Kavoussi said, “The effortless charisma and charm that emanates from Damian Hurley made me instantly jump at the opportunity to represent him. While he’s had the fortune of already working with some of our industry’s best, including Steven Meisel and [stylist] Joe McKenna, the opportunities before him are limitless, and The Lions are very excited to be partnering with him on that journey.”
Not to be outdone, Elizabeth Hurley has been showing that she is still up for her close-up, having recently posted a photo of herself in a sauna au naturel, sans clothes.
