Liz Hurley, 54, may be a world-famous beauty but her lookalike teenage son Damian is giving her a run for her money.

The 17-year-old recently made his modelling debut in a makeup campaign for celebrity artist Pat McGrathā€™s brand, Pat McGrath Labs.

Family resemblance

Damian - who with his long brunette locks, chiselled cheekbones and piercing green eyes is his actor mumā€™s doppelgƤnger - took to Instagram on Thursday to share a snap from the glamorous shoot.

In the ad for PMLā€™s ā€˜Sublime Perfectionā€™ foundation, the fresh-faced teen smoulders in a black leather biker jacket overtop a white T-shirt.

But itā€™s his retro bouffant-style ā€˜do, reminiscent of ā€˜50s icon Brigitte Bardot, that really steals the show.

ā€œSo excited to show you guys something secret Iā€™ve been working,ā€ he announced to his followers - and people just canā€™t cope.

ā€œWow...just like your mother,ā€ wrote one fan.

ā€œBeyond gorgeous,ā€ gushed another.

One fan was clearly expecting big things from the youngster, writing, ā€œModel of the year here we come.ā€

Another praised Damianā€™s ability to pull off a look that blends feminine and masculine elements, writing, ā€œAndrogyny at its finest.ā€

Others didnā€™t seem to quite get it, commenting, ā€œDamian is a weird name for a girl.ā€

His biggest fan, of course, has to be his beloved mum, who wrote, ā€œMy north, my south, my east and my west. I love you.ā€

ā€œSo beautiful. We love you!!!ā€ chimed in his motherā€™s modelling agency, TESS Management, who also have Damian on their books.

In mumā€™s footsteps

Along with his foray into the modelling world, Damian is also following his mumā€™s lead into film and TV. He starred as Prince Hansel von Liechtenstein alongside his mum - who played the Queen - in the E! series The Royals.

The pair are very close unlike his father - American millionaire businessman and film producer Steve Bing - who has had limited involvement in his life.

Liz and Steve had a brief relationship following the Bedazzled starā€™s split from fellow actor Hugh Grant in 2000.

At first, Steve denied that he was Damianā€™s father but a DNA test proved otherwise and he was forced to pay child support.

Steveā€™s absence seems to have only strengthened their bond, with Damian often escorting Liz on the red carpet - they have even shared their wardrobe in the past.
