REAL Damian on mum Liz: We are like siblings

'She filled the role of 800 parents at the same time'

- James Desborough

MODEL turned director Damian Hurley has made a rare comment about growing up with a single parent.

Damian, 21, has reflected on how his famous mother was so vital to his childhood.

Liz Hurley split with Damian's biological father Steve Bing just days after learning she was pregnant.

And the actress said Damian enjoyed being at boarding school so she could continue working.

Asked about his childhood, his relationship with his mother and not a father, and whether he missed anything in childhood, Damian replied: "No. Mum filled the role of 800 parents at the same time. We are so close. Sometimes like siblings."

The two are now collaborating on his directorial debut, a thriller called Strictly Confidential. As well as starring in the film, Liz is also a producer.
