Liz Hurley stunned fans once again as she flaunted her flawless figure in a white swimsuit.

The 59-year-old actress left her followers in awe, with many praising her timeless beauty and calling her "the most beautiful woman in the world." Posing effortlessly in a beach-inspired shot, Liz radiated confidence and grace.

She captioned her post 'Hello' and fans were to compliment the star. One person wrote: "The most beautiful and seductive woman in the world with the name of a Queen!" Another person gushed: "There’s a beautiful woman again. She never ceases to amaze me. She truly gets better with age, wow."

A third commenter expressed: "Looking good, my dear Elizabeth, you are truly a beautiful woman. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos with me. Love you." A fourth added: "Always fabulous!"

Hurley is an English actress, model, and businesswoman. She gained international fame in the 1990s, particularly for her role in the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), where she starred alongside Mike Myers.

She is also well known for her role in the 1992 film Remando al viento and her television career, including roles in The Royals (2015–2018) and various other TV series. Liz also recently starred in her son Damian's directorial debut film, Strictly Confidential.

Hurley’s career could have taken a very different turn, as she almost landed a major role in the iconic British sitcom Only Fools and Horses. The actress auditioned for the role of Cassandra Parry, the character who eventually married Rodney Trotter in the beloved BBC series. Fans of the show often wonder what it would have been like if Liz had been cast in the role, but as it turns out, she was turned down for one specific reason.

In the Channel 5 documentary Only Fools and Horses: Secrets and Scandals, it was revealed that Liz’s audition for the part of Cassandra was actually very well received. However, there was one key factor that ultimately led to her not being cast.

According to the documentary, the producers felt that the model, at the time, was perhaps a bit too glamorous and well-known, which might have distracted from the character's intended dynamic with the Trotter family.

Author Mike Jones explained: "She auditioned for the role and it was felt that perhaps she was probably a little too glamorous for…how can I say it diplomatically? Our lanky Trotter brother." Gwyneth Strong got the part instead and went on to make her first appearance as Cassandra in 1989. She continued to play the character on and off up until 2003.
