Damian regularly makes appearances in the actress’ Instagram feed, but in 2018, Hurley came under fire when then-15-year-old Damian was criticized for taking her bikini-clad Instagram photos. But the actress, who regularly models new pieces in herElizabeth Hurley Beach collectionon Instagram, expertly shut down criticsduring a stop onWatch What Happens Livein March.
She explained that he mostly steps in as a photographer when they’re vacationing. “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.”
Damian, whose father is American business man Steve Bing, made is acting debut in 2016 with a part in season 3 of Hurley’s hitThe Royals(he returned to the show in season 4). And while Hurley toldPEOPLEthat she will “encourage [him] in anything he wants to do,” she’s making sure that education is still his main priority for now.
The proud mom often posts photos wishing Damian luck in school andtold PEOPLEin 2017 that she’s “encouraging him still to study hard at school” adding, “Even if it’s something he’ll never need in his life, I just think it makes you a more interesting person.”
“I always say, you don’t want to be a bore at dinner. You have to know geography, you need to know history, you need to know ancient history, it’s interesting,” she continued. “And then of course, if he wants to be — and if he were talented enough and lucky enough to be a movie star, how nice that would be. But to me that’s the icing on the cake after you [become] a fully-rounded person.”
