'I'm constantly lying to him!' Teresa Palmer reveals her son, five, wants to follow a vegan lifestyle - but she's determined to sneak dairy into his diet
Teresa Palmer has revealed her five-year-old son Bodhi wants to follow a vegan diet.
The Adelaide-born actress, 33, told 2DayFM Breakfast with Ed, Grant & Ash that she has been forced to lie to Bodhi so he eats meat and dairy.
Teresa revealed that other parents hosting kids' parties have to tell her son the birthday cake is vegan even though it's not.

Teresa explained that Bodhi's interest in veganism comes from his older half-brother, 11-year-old Isaac.
She added: 'All [of Isaac's] friends have become a little vegan group at school in America. They live in LA, there we go!'

In the same interview, the Hacksaw Ridge star revealed that she used to be vegan but now adheres to a vegetarian diet.
She hasn't always followed a healthy lifestyle, however, and revealed in 2018 that she used to eat Hungry Jack's every day as a teenager.
'When I worked there, I would have a Whopper Junior meal with a lemon meringue pie on my lunch break,' she said at the time.

'I probably ate Hungry Jack's every single day of my life up until the age of 18, and now I've become vegan, so there are not really many options for me on the menu anymore.'
While Teresa and her husband Mark Webber are trying to resist Bodhi's interest in veganism, other Hollywood families are happy to raise their children with restricted diets.
Kourtney Kardashian raises her children gluten and dairy free, while Alicia Silverstone was one of the first celebrities to ever speak about raising vegan kids.
