Elizabeth Hurley received unexpected support at the release of her latest film, “Strictly Confidential”, the first directed by her son, Damian. Two of her ex-boyfriends, Hugh Grant and Arun Nayar, made an appearance at the event held in London.

Elizabeth Hurley has overcome the dramas of at least two of her love relationships, as Hugh Grant and Arun Nayar, two of her former partners, joined her on the red carpet at the premiere of the erotic thriller directed by her only child.

The 58-year-old actress looked incredible in a sequined emerald green dress with a cut-out bust and leg-length slit. In “Strictly Confidential”, Liz appears in intimate scenes with another woman. At the premiere, Hurley was in a great mood. She proudly posed with her son on the red carpet. Moreover, she chatted for a good few minutes with Hugh and Arun, glad that they are publicly showing their support for the mother-son project.

Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant were together for 13 years, from 1987 to 2000, being one of the most publicized relationships of the time. They loved each other and many expected to see them at the altar, but everything was broken when Hugh made a move that hurt Hurley deeply: he cheated on her with a companion and was arrested for indecent behavior. The two managed to find themselves, after a while, as friends, and Grant even became the godfather of the actress’ son.

Hugh is now married to TV producer Anna Elisabet Eberstein. The two joined their destinies in 2018. Anna came with her husband to the premiere in London, but did not want to pose for the panel. However, they were caught by the paparazzi on their way out.

And Arun Nayar, Elizabeth Hurley’s ex-husband, was present to respond to the invitation to attend the film’s launch event. The multimillionaire was the actress’ husband from 2007 to 2011. After the divorce, they remained friends, and Arun was the father figure in Damian’s life, even if he is not his biological father.
