Damian Hurley is the son of Elizabeth Hurley and Steve Bing. In June 2020, Damian faced a terrible tragedy when his father died by suicide at the age of 55. The now-23-year-old took to Instagram at the time and reflected on his father’s passing just after his mother Elizabeth 59, shared her tribute. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has reached out following the devastating news. I’m trying to reply to as many of you as I can, but please know I will always remember your kindness,” Damian wrote to his Instagram followers. “This is a very strange and confusing time and I’m immensely grateful to be surrounded by my phenomenal family and friends.”
Here are five things you should know about Damian Hurley.
Damian signed with Tess Management model agency in September 2018. Less than one year later, Damian led his very first campaign with British makeup artist Pat McGrath in a series of photos taken to promote Sublime Perfection — a makeup line. Damian was shot by photographer Steven Meisel and starred alongside models Violet Chachki and Zhengyang Zhang.
It’s very clear that Damian is following in his mother’s footsteps. So much so, in fact, that he has starred alongside her on the small screen. Damian played Hansel von Liechtenstein, Crown Prince of Liechtenstein on the E! series The Royals, on which his mother stars. He appeared in two episodes — one from season three (“Aye, There’s the Rub”) and another in season four (“My New Shall Be the Fruit to That Great Feast”).
In December 2022, Damian announced that he had wrapped his first feature film as a director and screenwriter.
“This has genuinely been the most incredible experience, both professionally and personally,” Damian captioned an Instagram carousel at the time. “I’ve made lifelong friends and learnt many valuable lessons. I’m so so proud of this film and REALLY want to share lots and lots right now (sadly not allowed as nearly every photo I have contains a huge spoiler lol) but WATCH THIS SPACE. More coming very, very soon xx.”
