Damian Hurley looks commendably at home as he tumbles about in the fresh white sheets of The Dorchester’s decadent Oliver Messel suite. He is barefoot and dressed only in white boxer shorts and a cherry red and starburst embroidered jacket and mandarin-collared shirt from Valentino. His long, tousled hair swishes about his striking features; flawless skin, a broad, angular jawline, blue eyes. It would be hard for anyone not to concede that this boy possesses serious star power.
It should come as no surprise. Now 23, the model, filmmaker and would-be body double of his mother, 60-year-old actor Elizabeth Hurley — he is her only child; his father was the late American businessman and film producer Steve Bing — has more than six years of professional posing experience. His modelling career began at 17, when fashion photographer Steven Meisel plucked him out of his dorm room at Wellington School in Somerset, put him on a plane to New York and made him the face of Pat McGrath beauty.
