Liz Hurley has come under fire for stripping off for a saucy sex scene – directed by her own son.
The actress, 58, is starring in a new erotic thriller directed by her son Damian, 21. Liz plays Lily in the film, called Strictly Confidential, which follows protagonist Mia, who is haunted by the suicide of her best friend Rebecca.
Accepting an invite to stay with Rebecca’s family in the Caribbean on the anniversary of her death, Mia is drawn into a mystery filled with “sex, duplicity and betrayal”. In the flick, Liz’s character is seduced by Natasha (Pear Chiravara) and the women soon start to make love against a pillar.

After a teaser for the film made its rounds online last week; fans were quick to blast the sexy movie. It appeared people were not happy that Liz’s only son Damian had directed his mum in the lesbian scene.
However, in an interview with Access Hollywood Liz admitted she felt “looked after” while starring in the same-sex romp scene. She also added: “Actually it’s kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again.”

But now, a therapist has slammed Liz’s decision to get down and dirty on-screen in front of her son, with the expert claiming it’s a “major boundary breach between parent and child.”
Speaking to TMZ, Dr Jenn Mann said she finds it “downright bizarre” that Liz felt “liberated” by her son directing her on-screen romp. The therapist also claimed that Liz and Damian’s relationship “seems to push boundaries that might be crossing into taboo territory.”

Damian confessed to Access Hollywood last week that he knows it’s “controversial” to be shooting scenes featuring his own mum in a steamy romp, but added: “Showbusiness has been a fundamental part of my entire life. So to us, it’s not a thing. She takes my photos, I take hers.”
There has been mixed reaction from fans online, with one X user branding the move “very disturbing”, as someone else joked: “Guys pretending this isn’t hot as hell.”

Another penned: “It’s Hollywood! Just like Ethan Hawke directing his daughter in a sex scene.” Hawke insisted directing his eldest daughter Maya in raunchy scenes “isn’t weird”, admitting to Variety: “We needed to take care of [actors] Rafael and Cooper. I think it was weird for them. We were so comfortable with it, I couldn’t care less.”
One Daily Star commenter mused: “Mummy and son seem to have a very very close relationship!” And anther quipped: “That’s just creepy!”
