I didn’t realise at the time quite how much it would affect me… We all like to show ‘perfect’ versions of our lives- for me, the idea of publicly discussing something as personal as grief is terrifying… but sometimes it’s necessary,” Damian captionedthe post.

The rising model admitted that the past year without his film producer dad has been “bloody hard” — not only for him but “everyone on then planet” as well.

“And I think acknowledging that is vital. It’s not weak to struggle. In fact, to get through to the other side is immensely strong. Thank you so much for all your messages today, I love you all Xxx,” Damian concluded.
