Elizabeth Hurley enjoys night on the town with lookalike son Damian
Elizabeth Hurley and her lookalike son Damian had a blast when they enjoyed a night on the town together on Wednesday.
The duo joined a slew of other famous faces at the Royal Albert Hall midweek for the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s bonkers new offering, Kurios: Cabinet Of Curiosities.
The similarities between Liz, 57, and her 20-year-old son were uncanny, with both looking stellar in all-black outfits.
Liz and actor Damian posed for snaps before taking in the show, which is billed as being a glimpse into ‘the curio cabinet of an ambitious inventor who defies the laws of time, space and dimension in order to reinvent everything around him’.
They were later seen bundling out of the world-famous venue before making their way home.
Damian is Liz’s only child and the son of Steve Bing, who died by suicide in June 2020.
The Boy on the Beach star previously had a strained relationship with his dad, but the situation was said to have improved before the businessman’s death.
Shortly after Steve took his own life, it emerged that Damian had been cut out of his grandfather’s family trust fund, losing out on a reported £180million inheritance.
His grandfather, Dr Peter Bing, successfully appealed a decision that would have included Damian and his half-sister Kira Kerkorian in trust funds worth up to a billion dollars (£725m), on the basis that they were born out of wedlock during Steve’s relationships with Liz and Lisa Bonder respectively.
In a statement to Daily Mail, doting mum Liz described Dr Bing’s appeal as ‘callous’.
‘When Stephen took his own life, he died thinking his children were going to be taken care of. What Stephen wanted has now been callously reversed. I know Stephen would have been devastated,’ she said.
On the year anniversary of his dad’s death, Damian shared a candid message about dealing with grief, writing on HetFlix: ‘A year ago today, my mother and I received some devastating news.’
He continued: ‘I didn’t realise at the time quite how much it would affect me… We all like to show “perfect” versions of our lives – for me, the idea of publicly discussing something as personal as grief is terrifying… but sometimes it’s necessary.
‘The last year has been hard – for everyone on the planet – and I think acknowledging that is vital.’
Damian concluded: ‘It’s not weak to struggle. In fact, to get through to the other side is immensely strong. Thank you so much for all your messages today, I love you all.’
