Elizabeth Hurley Brushes Off Criticism Of Her S*x Scene In Son’s Movie On ‘The View’: “He Was Directing Me In Those Scenes, Not Sneaking Into My Bedroom”

Damian Hurley is continuing to defend the steamy sex scene in his debut film Strictly Confidential, which features his mother Elizabeth Hurley getting hot and heavy with co-star Pear Chiravara.

The View welcomed Damian and Elizabeth on this morning’s show, where the mother-son duo promoted the upcoming “sensual mystery with a pulse.”

Of course, their appearance was preceded by plenty of headlines about Elizabeth’s onscreen hookup (even some from us here at Decider), and the co-hosts couldn’t help but ask for more details.

“What was that like for the two of you, and what do you make of all of the attention that you’re getting?” Joy Behar asked.

Elizabeth swiftly clarified, “I think the important thing is that he was directing me in those scenes, not sneaking into my bedroom with a video camera. We were on a set, and they were grown-ups.”

Behar, agreeing in her own special way, replied, “He’s a director, not a pervert,” as Damian quipped, “That’s gonna be the headline tomorrow.” (Don’t worry, Damian, we’ll spare you.)

On a more serious note, Elizabeth insisted that filming a sex scene under her son’s direction “actually felt really comfortable,” explaining, “sometimes, when you have to do an intimate scene or an emotional scene, you’re really putting yourself in the hands of the filmmakers because it’s out of your control. But with Damian behind the camera, I felt really safe.”

She added, “I felt for the first time actually ever, doing a scene like that, that I knew that he’d be true to what we knew we were shooting.”
Strictly Confidential
While intimacy coordinators have become the norm in Hollywood in recent years for any show or film featuring a sex scene, Damian said Strictly Confidential didn’t follow the trend.

“It’s such an important thing,” he clarified, before telling the panel, “but ours was, again, a tiny, independent film, and everyone felt really safe. Obviously it was a closed set. It wasn’t something we had, and I’ve gotta say, I felt it worked.”

Elizabeth agreed with her son, saying she felt “so rehearsed and ready” for the scene.

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC. If you want to witness Damian’s buzzy scene for yourself, check out Strictly Confidential when it premieres in select theaters and digital on Friday (April 5).
