Move over, Angelina Jolie. There’s a new Lara Croft in town, and she’s a 23-year-old gymnast from South London, Tomb Raider publisher Eidos announced this week.
The new Laura Croft, is a 12 year gymnast, can pull off some of the games moves and is still training with weapons and survival techniques from the SAS. What a great gig, train the new Laura Croft.
Here is a little more from the story on :
Ever since actress Rhonda Mitra first took on the role of Tomb Raider heroine Lara Croft in 1997, Eidos has sought real-life counterparts for its acrobatic archaeologist heroine, and they’ve helped propel the video game series to worldwide sales topping 32 million. Up until now the British publisher’s picks have tended to be models or, like Jolie, movie stars, but Alison Carroll might just be the first Croft to have the physical abilities to do her famously acrobatic opposite number justice.
