Is Liz Hurley’s 14-year-old son holding something he shouldn’t?
HE WOULDN’T be the first teenager to sup champagne at a wedding.
But if there was any evidence that Liz Hurley’s 14-year-old son Damian was drinking at a recent society bash, it has been crudely covered up.
Photographs of the pair in Hello! magazine appear to have been doctored to remove any trace of a champagne flute.
One picture shows Damian next to his 51-year-old mother, who is grasping a glass. But while Damian’s fingers are in a similar position, he’s clutching at thin air. The blurry nature of that area of the image is a sure sign of Photoshop computer wizardry at work – as is the slightly odd shape of his hand.
Something also seems amiss in another shot published in the magazine, which shows Damian chatting to art collector Charles Saatchi as his mother beams up at him. In this photograph, a yellow blob looking vaguely like a half-eaten bread roll seems to have been pasted on to his hand.
The trickery did not fool everyone. One Twitter user wrote: ‘My cat could’ve Photoshopped the drink out of his hand better than that.’
The pictures were taken at the society wedding of former weathergirl Tania Bryer to hedge fund manager Rod Barker this month, which was also attended by the Duchess of York, Donna Air and Lisa Snowdon.
Hello! magazine declined to com- ment last night, and Miss Hurley was unavailable.
It is not illegal for a 14-year-old to consume alcohol at a private event such as a wedding, although it is against official medical advice.
Yesterday Damian, a student at £37,000-a-year Wellington College boarding school in Berkshire, attended the wedding of Miss Hurley’s ex-husband, software mogul Arun Nayer, 51, and model Kim Johnson, 30, on the French Riviera.
We eagerly await the pictures…
