AIBU to be uncomfortable re pics of Liz Hurley's son?

[longwayoff]

They really are astonishing pictures, part of an ad campaign. He looks just like mum. I'm not keen. Please Google for ref, can't do link.

He looks completely vacuous and self absorbed.

What a profound and insightful comment, Sarcelle. You obviously put a lot of thought into it.

I can't stand to look at him.

Then don't.

The tongue pushed up to the back of the teeth is horrible, all models seem to do it

I completely agree with @VivienneHolt. Kaia Gerber is constantly being styled in 80s fashion to look like her mum but I’ve never seen anybody claim that it’s made them uncomfortable.

Well it's not as easy as that is it @Sparklingbrook. He's all over the place at the minute.

It's called FISH GAPE

There isn't anything wrong with them..........but I do think he's going to look back in 20 years and wonder what the hell he was thinking 😂😂😂

He is a very beautiful young man and will do well in the modelling world. I don't find the photos uncomfortable, he's rocking the androgynous look and looks good.

One of the few celebrity offspring that actually does look like a model. And he certainly has something different / androgynous about him which is going to be appealing especially nowadays.

But anyway here we are talking about him and his different look, and that’s the secret to success in modelling surely, to come up with something new.

He’s been made up to look like a feminine version of his maw.

Since his maw was not exactly masculine looking to begin with, the effect is going to be a tad discomforting.

I wonder what his horrible "father" thinks of them? No getting away from the son he abandoned and whose mother he publicly humiliated now.

He is very pretty isn’t he?
Not sure about the hair in the mumalike shot. He looks like Jackie Collins.

He reminds me of Chris Lilley as Ja'mie, Private School Girl. Looks much older than 17. He's a good looking lad. If it was a girl emulating their Mum and wearing mum's clothes no one would mind, it's up to him how he expresses himself.

I don't think he looks like his mum at all.

He looks a bit silly in the promo photos. But all the best to him! He has fab hair.

It's lovely he's so close to his mum, too.

Snort!

Must suggest a mother and son photo shoot to ds (when he crawls out of bed...)

He's all over the place at the minute.

Is he? Where?

He’s modelling for goodness sake. He probably doesn’t go around posting and preening in everyday life.

I’ve always thought Liz Hurley seemed like a very sorted woman. I imagine she’ll help him to navigate a successful and lucrative career.

can't do link - why not? It's not rocket science. Do you mean "too lazy to do link"?

NewCross not everyone knows HOW to do links. Some people struggle with technology.

Gosh, he does look like his mum! Except his brow is obviously from Steve Bing. If you did one of those face-meld app things with a photo of the pair of them, he'd be the exact result. Isn't it odd how that happens sometimes, and some kids look nothing like their parents? My DS doesn't resemble either DH or me, but he's definitely ours as he's inherited a chromosome abnormality from one of us.

I haven’t seen him on anything since he was a toddler until I just read this post and googled him, so he’s not too difficult to avoid.

Haha he DOES look like Jackie Collins!

DS is the same age, more or less, and is also an only. He is currently in his pyjamas, hair all over the place, messing around with his new Alexa and whinging about cleaning his room. If I suggested a mother son photo shoot, he'd run a mile. If I suggested he tried bouffant hair, he'd look at me with baffled incredulity and ask if I needed a lie-down.

However, I don't need him to be a mini-me, to validate me, to follow in my footsteps or for him to be my best friend. Quite happy for him to be his own person and forge his own path.
