With Angelina Jolie tending to her ever-growing brood of children, a new woman has stepped into the role of Lara Croft - big breasted British gymnast Alison Carroll.
Alison appeared before the media for the first time during a press conference at Pineapple Studios in London, England on August 11.
Alison Carroll, 23, is a professional gymnast from Croydon who has previously performed for the likes of Prince Charles. Alison managed to beat out hundreds of other applicants for the chance to play the new face of Lara Croft, with the final round of the auditions involving a naked mud wrestling competition…or so we imagine. The Telegraph reports:
But Carroll has not landed a movie role - instead she will promote the new Tomb Raider video game, Underworld, which is released in November. Nell McAndrew found fame as the first Lara Croft model in the 1990s. Carroll will star in TV adverts and travel the world to meet Lara Croft fans.
Winning the role of Lara means Carroll can quit her job as a receptionist.
"This is a fantastic opportuntiy and I am really looking forward to embracing Lara's world," she said. "I still can't believe they chose me to take on the role of Lara - and I can't wait to get stuck in. This is my dream job. I have always wanted to be an action hero and hope to be able to use my gymnastic ability to perform all of Lara's stunts."
For the new Tomb Raider game, slated for a November release, Carroll will be the face of Croft, joining the long list of ladies who have held the title, such as Karima Adebibe, Lucy Clarkson, Jill de Jong, Lara Weller, Nell McAndrew, Rhona Mitra, Ellen Rocche and Vanessa Demouy.
The 23-year-old brunette babe is definitely fit for the part, with a stunning combination of beauty and athletic ability. She’s won multiple first place trophies in regional and national competitions and, well, she’s hot!
The new Lara is the ninth Eidos-endorsed beauty and is taking over the responsibility of filling those tight, tan coloured hotpants from the popular Karima Adebibe.
The chance to take over the role of Lara Croft from Karima Adebibe has allowed Alison to quit her previous job as a receptionist and focus on getting into shape for her future stint as the face of Lara, according to an Eidos press release.
