The New Lara Croft
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
I’ll admit it. I’ve never been a huge Lara Croft fan. I watched the movies and like them, but I’ve never played any of the video games. Now there’s a new Lara Croft, Alison Carroll, who will appear at promotions and conferences as the game/movie character and I’m sure there’s plenty of fans that want to know more about her. The big news? She’s a gymnast.
Miss Carroll has represented Great Britain as a professional display gymnast, and has performed in front of Prince Charles.
She is also a coach for younger gymnasts and recently choreographed the routine for the junior team that won the British National Championships.
Miss Carroll, who beat hundreds of others to be Lara Croft, has now left her day job as a receptionist to start on a gruelling training regime.
I guess getting to be a game character is really a big deal, especially when it’s as iconic as Tomb Raider Lara Croft.
