She’s the Australian actress who has made a name for herself in Hollywood.
And this week, Teresa Palmer has revealed that she has to jet out of Australia – where she is shooting her new film – due to visa issues for her son Bodhi, four.
The 32-year-old blonde – who will wrap filming Michelle Payne biopic Ride Like a Girl this week – is heading back to Los Angeles, as her son is on a visitor’s visa in Australia.

She said her family will head to Indonesia for a few months – where he will go to school.
‘We only get three months which is crazy. I have to get his citizenship taken care of so he’s at the end of his visa and we have to go back to LA,’ Teresa said.

Last month, Teresa was reportedly left ‘shaken’ after being forced to jump from a ‘spooked’ horse when it bolted while filming Ride Like a Girl.
‘She was shaken but not hurt. Teresa is back riding on set again and doing amazing work as Michelle Payne,’ a producer told The Herald Sun.
He explained how Teresa rode the horse until it slowed down, before jumping off in case it bolted again.
‘Teresa had considerable horse riding training before commencing filming and, due to her skill, she rode the horse brilliantly until it slowed down,’ they added.
Ride Like A Girl is based on Michelle’s life and career, including her Melbourne Cup win in 2015.
