But both Hurleys were totally undaunted when it came to filming Lilys romantic scenes.

Lets make the scene as beautiful as possible.
The two hope very much to continue collaborating.

But dont expect another sex scene from Damian and Elizabeth Hurley any time soon.
Mom wouldnt be in this one.
Shed just be producing, he says.
Even though theres a gag order over anything related to this next project, Elizabeth cant help but gush.
Its afabulousscript, she says.
Spoken like a proud mother.
