Elle Macpherson’s son Flynn laughs as he watches his supermodel mother in an early 2000s TV commercial for internet provider AOL
Elle Macpherson’s eldest son, Flynn Busson, has shared his reaction after watching his supermodel mother star in an early 2000s television commercial.
On Wednesday, 22-yea-old Flynn uploaded a video to Instagram of Elle’s famous 2003 advert for American internet provider AOL.
The ad, which aired when Flynn was just five years old, features a man desperately trying to get his newborn to sleep by searching for child-friendly content online.

Nothing seems to work, so the frazzled father types ‘swimsuit supermodel’ into the search bar.
Elle’s photo then pops up on his screen, immediately placating the child and leaving the man gobsmacked by her beauty.
At this stage, viewers would be forgiven for thinking the ad has taken a vulgar turn.

What a twist! Nothing seems to work, so the frazzled father finally searches ‘swimsuit supermodel’ (left). It is soon revealed that Elle is actually the child’s mother, as she bursts in the door, declaring: ‘mummy’s home!’ (right)

Flynn clearly found the ad entertaining, writing next to his post: ‘So funny! Love you @Ellemacphersonofficial’.
Elle welcomed Flynn with French financier Aprad ‘Arki’ Busson, in New York in 1998.

The former couple also have a younger son, Cy Busson, who was born in London in 2003, two years before the pair separated in 2005 after almost a decade together.
Elle has previously said that when she became a mother, she decided to put her sons first over her career.
‘I was 35 when I had my first (Flynn) and 41 when I had Cy and so I came to children a little later in life, but I made sure they were going to be the priority,’ she said at a Business Chicks breakfast, as reported by The Herald Sun.

‘I used to travel a lot and I’d go through that thing that (working) mothers go through.’
‘I would always tell them: ‘Mum loves what she does and I hope in life you find something you love to do so that work doesn’t feel like work and you go off and do your thing and while I’m off doing my thing, how cool for you guys to have that time without your helicopter, control-freak mother around’.’
She said she was ‘moved’ to read that one of her sons said in an interview that she made them feel that they were her ‘priority.’
