It is only May, and yet 2024 is already shaping up to be a banner year for moviemaking nepo babies. First came Lola, written and directed by Nicola Peltz-Beckham, the daughter of the billionaire who keeps trying to buy his way onto Disney’s board of directors. And now, like a golden narwhal rising majestically from the tropical ocean, comes Strictly Confidential, written and directed by Damian Hurley.
Yes, that Damian Hurley. Damian is Elizabeth Hurley’s 22-year-old son. Although his most high-profile work to date is taking cringey bikini shots of his mother for Instagram, Hurley junior is also, apparently, something of an auteur. Or at least he would be, had Strictly Confidential not been so abject that it achieved a 10 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, give the man a break.
