It’s easy to see where this celeb kid has gotten his good looks from!
On Christmas Day, Elizabeth Hurley’s son, Damian, posted a sweet selfie with his mom, and it’s hard to ignore the striking resemblance between the two of them. Between their hair, their eyes, and their facial structure, Damian is the spitting image of Elizabeth.
But now that his selfie has gotten people talking, who is Elizabeth Hurley’s son? As it turns out, Damian Hurley — Liz Hurley's child with American businessman Steve Bing — is a pretty interesting kid.

1. Who is Elizabeth Hurley's son? Damian Hurley is a 17-year-old actor and model.
Although Damian’s main focus right now seems to be modeling — at least, as far as his Instagram shows — he has a background in acting as well. In fact, Damian starred alongside mom Elizabeth in the show, The Royals, before it was canceled. He played Prince Hansel von Liechtenstein.
2. His dad is American businessman Steve Bing.
Unfortunately, Damian doesn't seem to have a great relationship with his dad's side of the family — and the same goes for Elizabeth and her ex.
In fact, earlier this year, Damian's grandfather, Dr. Peter Bing, tried to keep Damian from accessing his inheritance since he was born out of wedlock and Peter had never met him, but a Los Angeles judge ruled that Damian would, in fact, receive his inheritance.
3. He was featured in a Pat McGrath campaign this year.
Back in July, Damian became one of the faces of makeup artist Pat McGrath’s campaigns, showing off one of the looks on his Instagram. And according to McGrath, he couldn’t have been a more perfect choice.
"A supermodel is born,” the famed artist said. “It’s no surprise that as the offspring of the iconic Elizabeth Hurley, Damian is a bright, young, emerging star who has an absolutely magnetic personality, energy, and an exceptional look."

4. He has very famous godfathers.
Given that Damian’s mom has worked in entertainment his entire life (and long before that) it’s understandable that she has some famous friends. But at his 2002 christening, she named six of them as his godfathers, including some pretty high-profile men.
Among them were Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, as well as Hugh Grant and Dennis Leary.
5. He already has a very impressive social media following.
Right now, Damian has more than 54,000 Instagram followers, and he uses his account to show off his modeling photos, as well as more casual selfies and pics with friends and family. His mom does appear in quite a few posts — it seems like he and Elizabeth have a super-close relationship and that they spend a lot of time together.
6. Damian loves photography and takes many of his mom’s Instagram photos.
Last year, Elizabeth revealed that Damian takes many of her Instagram photos, including the bikini shots — mostly because he’s the one who always travels with her, and because he has a good eye. Considering the amount of time he spends in front of the camera, it’s no wonder he’s a whiz behind it.
“Here’s the thing, he doesn’t take all my bikini photos, by the way. Some of them are professional, some of them are my sister, anybody who I can get,” she said. “When we’re on holiday together, sure he’ll take some pictures. And you know, he’s got a really good eye and he’s studying photography and it’s ridiculous.”
7. Elizabeth loves to brag about Damian on social media.
Exhibit A: This post, where she gushed over her son on his birthday this year.
“Happy 17th Birthday to my heavenly @damianhurley1. No one could have brought me more joy. You have made me a very proud mama,” she wrote.
Not only do Elizabeth and Damian look alike, but it seems like they have plenty in common, too — and they share such a sweet relationship.
