The 49-year-old actress, who has been married to playwright Andrew Upton since 1997, hoped to get her four kids, Dashiell, 17, Roman, 14, Ignatius, 10, and Edith, four, to stop eating meat by introducing the animals to the family home in a bid to make them feel more compassion towards animals, but her plan backfired.
She told Interview magazine: "I'm quite happy sitting here looking at my unread Proust, talking to you and feeding my pigs. I was a vegetarian for years when my husband wanted to get pigs. I said, 'I'll get pigs as long as we tell the kids that the sausages and bacon they eat are from our pigs.' We called them Benson and Hedges.
"It was this Machiavellian vegetarian plan that I had for my kids, that they would form this deep connection with the piglets, which were very cute and smelled kind of like smelly people. And then I would tell them that if we eat sausages, they're coming from these pigs. The kids were just totally fine with that and I was horrified. My plan to turn my family vegetarian was a monumental failure."
