Model Damian Hurley has announced that he has signed a major new contract with agency IMG models.
The 18-year-old son of Elizabeth Hurley revealed the exciting news on his Instagram account on Monday evening.
Sharing a stunning black-and-white image of himself bearing an uncanny resemblance to his iconic mother, Damian shared his excitement at his new career move.
Damian captioned the post: “v excited to be joining IMG @IMGModels.”
The prestige modelling agency has boasted some of the biggest names in fashion.
Other famous faces on IMG’s roster include Kate Moss, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Gisele Bündchen, Miranda Kerr, Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid and her younger sister Bella Hadid.
Last month, Damian appeared in a sultry marketing campaign for Pat McGrath’s new Dark Star Mascara.
In the clip, Damian was seen straddling 34-year-old supermodel Irina Shayk.
Damian shared the video himself upon its release, with the advertisement itself having been shot before social distancing guidelines were introduced to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
Sharing the clip, Damian penned: “The breathtaking @irinashayk and I for my favourite Aunty @PatMcGrathReal, directed by the extraordinary #StevenMeisel.”
Damian is the son Elizabeth from her brief romantic relationship with American businessman Steve Bing, who initially denied being Damian’s father until Liz took him to court and Damian’s paternity was confirmed.
In June this year, Bing committed suicide by jumping from an apartment building in Los Angeles.
Following his death, Damien shared his gratitude to the support he has had from his fans and loved ones.
He wrote: Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has reached out following the devastating news.
“I’m trying to reply to as many of you as I can, but please know I will always remember your kindness.
“This is a very strange and confusing time and I’m immensely grateful to be surrounded by my phenomenal family and friends.”
Liz’s ex Hugh Grant, who she dated from 1987 to 2000, is godfather to Damian.
The actress and model was married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2011, having begun dating in 2002.
Following her divorce, Liz was engaged to former Australian cricketer Shane Warne from 2011 to 2013.
