Who is Elizabeth Hurley’s mother Angela Mary? Actress clarifies 80-year-old mom took her racy topless photos

After Piers Morgan slammed Elizabeth Hurley's topless pictures, the model revealed that her 80-year-old mother, Angela, was the one who actually took those racy snaps

Elizabeth Hurley recently shared a couple of snaps on her social media handles, revealing a massive part of her cleavage. The sultry look of the acclaimed model-actress instantly went viral as it caught the attention of many, including ‘Good Morning Show’ host Piers Morgan. Hurley has revealed in the past that it is her young son who takes her pictures, but this time she tweeted that the topless pictures were clicked by none other than her 80-year-old mother, Angela Mary.

Elizabeth Hurley's family

Hurley’s mother, Angela, is a retired music teacher from Kempshott Junior School and her father was a major in the British army. Hurley has an older sister, Katheleen, and a younger brother, Andrews Hurley. With England currently in its third national lockdown, Hurley is living at her Hertfordshire home.

The ‘Austin Powers’ actress revealed earlier that she had spent the first lockdown at her country estate with her family. In April 2020, Hurley talked about her family and how her entire family were self-isolating at her home.

"There are nine of us. I have my whole family here, including my mother, an aunt and a friend who has severe respiratory problems. I am completely paranoid that I won't be able to keep them safe, and I haven't let anyone leave the house apart from me. I just nip out to local food stores and wear a mask and gloves. I'm terrified of bringing the virus back to my vulnerable guests," Morgan said to HELLO!.

Elizabeth Hurley's racy pictures

From her residence, 55-year-old Hurley took to her social media handles to share a couple of saucy pictures. Hurley stripped off to just a pair of white bikini bottoms, covering her modesty with a monochrome jacket. She revealed back in 2018 that it was often her 18-year-old son, Damian, who usually clicks her pictures. Hurley’s sultry look became a conversation topic on Morgan’s talk show, where he called the pictures “thirsty and creepy.”

Morgan’s co-host Susanna Reid defended Hurley and insisted Morgan was, in fact, “thirsty himself”. But the acclaimed talk show host maintained that Hurley’s topless pictures were inappropriate and demanded she should put on some clothes.

“She looks fabulous, but what are you doing, Liz? A bit of snow, and you get your kit off. And who took the pictures? Your 18, 19-year-old son, you said, took the pictures? Isn’t that a bit creepy?” Morgan said. “What is all this! It’s what we call in the business ‘thirst and a bit creepy’.”

Hurley was quick to respond to Morgan’s remark as she tweeted it was her 80-year-old mother who took these snaps that have caused such a stir online. She wrote, “Far be it for me to suggest the tabloids get their facts muddled, but these pics were in fact taken by my 80 year old mother. Not entirely sure if that puts minds at rest or not.”

After Hurley revealed that her mother took those snaps, several of her fans took to Twitter to praise it. One wrote, “I love you for the pics... stunning. But I think I possibly love your mother even more..... FREEDOM of thought ... AMEN to that x.” Another noted, “Keep being you. Don’t let the complainers stop you doing what you like doing. You’re not hurting anyone unlike their constant moaning at anyone and everyone.”

A user Twitter wrote, “OMG Girl...I just came across these pics on FB; haven’t seen you in a while. You look absolutely amazing!! What an inspiration to other women to know the potential women (atleast you) can maintain even while aging! I think you look as good as you ever have!” Another wrote, "Haha. you look absolutely fabulous but you obviously have a great mother who supports you. As for the tabloids ignore them! It’s not the 1st time they’ve got their facts wrong!!"

Hurley was recently seen in Adriana Trigiani’s American romantic comedy movie, ‘Then Came You’. In 2021, she will be the guest judge for Season 2 Episode 1 of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’.
