London, Oct 15 (PTI): Actor Elizabeth Hurley says she does not want her son Damian to be famous and feel trapped.

The 52-year-old actress says she does not want her 15- year-old son, who she has with her former partner Steve Bing, to follow in her footsteps, reported The Daily Telegraph.

"I certainly don't want a child of mine to be famous. It's the worst thing to be trapped in your house and not be able to leave," Hurley says.

The actor adds that her son finds it uncomfortable if she gets too friendly with his teachers.

"Damian's not [embarrassed]. Most people are embarrassed when their parents sing, or dance, or wear dresses. He loves all that, but he doesn't like me being too jokey with his teachers.

"Maybe it's because we're talking to teachers but it always makes me laugh because there's so little one can do as a controlling parent wanting to help your children... We try, but in the end, we're all just like, 'Whatever the child will do.'"
