Liz and Damian Hurley on Loose Women today

[Abitboring]

Did anyone watch? It was about the movie he directed with her in it. Liz said she felt so comfortable during the shoot as she knew someone who loves her looked out for her, meaning Damian. They also say they are each others confidantes and more like siblings rather than mother and son and that they very much lean onto each other. There were a few more things that seemed off. Then the played the game of 'which one of you is most likely to sneak home late at night' and a few more of those questions. I found it so bizarre and couldn't help but think the Loose Women thought this too.

I kept wondering how they got to this stage and if it isn't a lot of pressure for an adult child to be their mother's confidante and person to lean on. Tbh they seemed more like a couple than mother and son. Very bizarre.

I can see how you might come to lean on each other in life.
I just think it's too much to say you're more like siblings than mother and son.

YABU, they seem very close but not like a couple, that’s your own mind going there.

They live in a different world.

Weird as fuck the pair of them.

I'd never heard of Damian Hurley until I saw the thread today about how " beautiful " he is. I knew Liz Hurley had a son and that was it.
I actually googled him earlier - just to see what he looked like because people said how like his mother he was. And I saw the photos of them posing together and like you OP thought they looked like a couple and some of the photos were weird for mother and son.

It is odd but when you are a single mother
with one child you do become very close, as it’s always just the two of you..

I thought he is very handsome too but I don't think that after seeing him on live TV today. He has a weird side profile of his face. I think there's a certain angle from the front in which he looks exceptionally handsome plus a lot of Photoshop. I don't think he's naturally handsome.

Yea you wouldn't be so confident about that if it was
Father and daughter 🤔.
It is creepy and weird.

Sure but how exactly does a son become his mother's confidante. Boundaries must have been crossed very early on.

He's only 22. He said he moved back home during lockdown and still lives there. He would have been 18 then. Apparently he has a small flat in London but prefers to live with his mum.

Reminds me of the way Princess Diana allegedly discussed her problems with William when he was 13/14.

Though at least Damian is an adult.

Relationship seems fine to me😂

Strange indeed. And they dont live in a different world just because she has money

Now a 58 year old dad with his 22 year old daughter would probably be subject to a few comments if he put that on his Insta.

Didn’t see Loose Women today but do tend to agree it’s certainly a bit unusual.

Off topic slightly, but Liz is absolutely stunning, seems to be more attractive now than when she was 30’s.

I know of course she has plenty money etc but even so, I think shes amazing.

His dad disowned him, and treated her disgracefully. A mum and son being very close is not creepy and weird. They love each other, it is fine.
If you want to speculate and gossip have a bitch about his pitiful dad, or the horrendous behaviour of Brad Pitt that everyone is not discussing.

What's Brad Pitt been up to ?

Strange set up. Seems a very nice person but didn't understand LW treating them like a couple.

I caught them on the one show. Liz did not look great imho, weird lips and heavy make up.
Have a "un-mumsnetty" huge television which can be very honest!!

They've been like that all his life. It feels very much an us and them thing. I think his dad kind of shunned them both for many years, denied paternity etc. so it's like a rich spoilt version of a lot of single mums who seem to mollycoddle their only male offspring. I guess it's better than him being some horrific addict who's mum has washed her hands of him. I've never liked her though, ever since she said adults don't need breakfast and 4 raisins was a reasonable snack.

The relationship doesn’t appear to be a healthy one. Too intimate, too few boundaries and too adult.

😂😂😂😂😂

I guess there are mothers who see and treat their sons like a 'little husband' from a young age.

I imagine their relationship will change when he has a serious partner. Or she might be a monster -in-law. 🤣

It makes me uncomfortable too, but I have a friend who is a single parent with a DS and I can see her being like this with her DS when he gets older. I worry that he'll struggle to have a normal life and just head out into the world, because his DM won't let him go, she'll always be hanging around. Co-dependent DP and DC relationships aren't healthy.

@ladybirdsanchez that's it. I wonder if the adult child would feel guilty 'not being as close to mum anymore' by moving out etc.
