Early life

Hurley was born in Portland Hospital, London, to actress Elizabeth Hurley and American businessman Steve Bing. [1] [2] Although Bing initially denied paternity, a DNA test subsequently confirmed him as the father. [3] [4] In a court settlement of his child support obligations, Bing agreed to pay £1.8 million in annual installments of £100,000 for Hurley, although his mother declined to accept the payments. [5]

Hurley's godfathers include Hugh Grant, David Beckham, Elton John and Denis Leary. [6] [7]

Hurley grew up in Gloucestershire with his mother and her then-spouse, Indian business tycoon Arun Nayar. [8] [9] [10]

Hurley later lived part time in Australia because of his mother's relationship with Australian cricket player Shane Warne. [11]

Career

In July 2016, it was announced that Hurley had been cast as Prince Hansel von Liechtenstein in The Royals , an E! series which stars his mother as the Queen of the United Kingdom. [12] Hurley plays a reality TV star in the December 2016 episode "Aye, There's the Rub". [13] He reprised the role in the April 2018 episode "My News Shall Be the Fruit to That Great Feast". [14]

In September 2018, Hurley was signed by model agency Tess Management. [15]

In July 2019, Hurley fronted Pat McGrath's 'Sublime Perfection' campaign. Hurley told Vogue , "It feels strange being referred to as a model" before explaining, "When I was 17, I got a call saying that [fashion photographer] Steven Meisel wanted me in New York the next day to front a new campaign. I'd never modelled before, but in a moment of madness I agreed, flew out, did the shoot and made it back to school in time for my first class on Monday." [16]

In July 2020, Hurley signed with IMG, whose clients include Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Cara Delevingne, and Gigi and Bella Hadid. [17] Since then, he has worked with such notable figures from the world of fashion as Mert and Marcus, Katie Grand [18] and Luigi and Iango. [19]
