Damian Hurley's deep bond with godfathers Elton John, David Furnish and their two sons

Actress Elizabeth Hurley shares an unbreakable bond with legendary singer, Sir Elton John.

The pair have known each other for more than three decades, and have seemingly built an everlasting friendship, with the 'Crocodile Rock' singer previously referring to Elizabeth as his "daughter" in a speech on her wedding day.

From publicly supporting one another at various gala events, to being each other's biggest cheerleaders on milestone moments, Elizabeth and Elton have been by each other's sides through thick and thin.

During a chat with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday evening, Elizabeth, 59, said of their bond: "I just feel that as you become more confident, you really know your friendships. So, for example, it's over 30 years ago when I met Elton [John].

"And now, a 30-year friendship is such a long time! It's so meaningful when you've been with people through their ups and their downs, they've been with you, and it makes your life very rich."

When Elizabeth's son Damian came into the world, it's perhaps no surprise that the Austin Powers star chose Elton and his husband David Furnish as her son's godfathers.

Elton supporting Damian's career

Elton is no stranger to the spotlight with an impressive career dating back to the early 1970s. He's achieved success on a global scale and is regarded as one of the most highly acclaimed and successful solo artists of all time.

For budding director, Damian, Elton's success makes him the perfect springboard when it comes to forging a career in the public eye. Reflecting on Elton's incredible support, Damian told HELLO!: "He was so great. So when I was writing and directing my first film, I called him all the time and he really reassured me. Really talked me down if I was stressed or if I was overwhelmed. They're both just incredibly loyal and kind, I'm very lucky."

Damian released his directorial debut, racy drama-thriller Strictly Confidential, back in April last year. It was a family affair with Elizabeth starring in the film alongside Georgia Lock, Lauren McQueen, Freddie Thorp and Max Parker.
