Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian looked stylish as they arrived on the set of the television show The View in New York City on Saturday.
Damián, 22, was wearing a black top and matching pants, with a pair of black shoes and sunglasses.
Elizabeth attracted attention for her steamy scene with another woman in the racy trailer for her upcoming film Strictly Confidential; which was directed by her son Damián.
But the star insists it wasn’t just an “exciting” moment but an important part of the film’s plot.
In Damian’s directorial debut, Elizabeth plays a mother named Lily who hosts her daughter’s friends at her Caribbean estate a year after the mysterious deaths of her daughter and her husband.
During the trip, several secrets are discovered, including Lily’s love affair with her daughter’s friend.
Of the passionate sex scene between the couple, which was directed by her real-life son, Damian, Elizabeth recounted Too Fab: ‘Well, it was a very important part of the narrative, when Mia, our protagonist, is on this quest to find out why her best friend [Elizabeth’s character’s daughter] committed suicide,.
‘He was so integral to [the storytelling] that the actual physical filming wasn’t even something we really talked about.
“We just knew that the impact it would have on the story and the rest was just our job.”
She insists that the scene is not included simply for shock value, adding that she always stays away from films that have lewd moments to stun audiences.

Elizabeth and her son Damian have come under fire after he directed their racy lesbian sex scene in his film Strictly Confidential, but the actress defended the scene.
During the trip, several secrets are discovered, including Lily’s affair with her daughter’s friend.
But the star insists it wasn’t just an “exciting” moment but an important part of the film’s plot.
The screen star said: “For me, when I receive a script, if I feel like something is included for free (which has nothing to do with the storytelling) since I was a beginner, I would say, ‘I don’t understand that.’ “I don’t understand, that’s not something I want to be a part of.”
“It got into my head by some executive somewhere and I’ve never been a part of that.
‘I wouldn’t have been in this, but it wasn’t like that. It was so comprehensive. “It was part of the narrative, it wasn’t just a sex scene set up to titillate.”
It comes after Elizabeth and her son Damian were the subject of furious attacks from a professional psychotherapist over their controversial new film collaboration in which the actress was directed by her son while performing a lesbian sex scene.
While Elizabeth claimed to feel “liberated” by having a family member around to film the racy scenes, Couples Therapy star Dr. Jenn Mann criticized her actions.
According to the licensed marriage, family and child therapist, filming the scenes is a significant breaking of boundaries between parents and children, and she would advise against simulating sex in front of your child.
In Damian’s directorial debut, Elizabeth plays mother Lily, who hosts her daughter’s friends at her Caribbean estate a year after the deaths of her daughter and her husband.
Jenn said TMZ found the actress’ comments about the scenes to be “liberating,” “bizarre,” and not aligned with a healthy parent-child dynamic.
She told the publication that, in her opinion, even though Damian is an adult, directing his own mother’s erotic scenes is crossing some lines between parents and children.
Elizabeth, who shares Damian with ex Steve Bing, previously told Access Hollywood that she felt “safe and cared for” while filming the film.
“It’s relaxing to know that there’s someone behind the camera looking out for you,” the Austin Powers star explained, adding that that was particularly important when filming this movie.
