Elizabeth Hurley, the glamorous actress, nearly faced arrest thanks to her son, Damian, and his filmmaking passion.
Damian, then a young filmmaker, was creating a short film and decided to cast his mom, Elizabeth, and godfather, Hugh Grant, in a hilarious scene.
The plot involved Elizabeth's character chasing Hugh's character around Zurich Airport. Sounds fun, right? Well, there's more...
For the chase, Damian incorporated a prop – a fake dagger. While harmless, it looked pretty realistic in the bustling airport environment.
Airport security, ever vigilant, spotted Elizabeth wielding the "weapon" and things escalated quickly. The lighthearted film scene turned into a potential arrest situation!
Thankfully, things were explained. Damian clarified it was a prop, and with some understanding and amusement, security stood down.
The arrest was avoided, but the incident became a hilarious anecdote in the Hurley-Grant family.
This story highlights the playful bond between Elizabeth Hurley, Damian, and Hugh Grant. It's a reminder that even celebrities have fun-filled (and slightly chaotic) family moments.
No word on whether the dramatic airport chase with the (almost) troublesome prop made it into the final film. But one thing's for sure, it made for a memorable story!
