New Lara Croft entertained Prince Charles
The new face of Tomb Raider has been revealed, and this time Lara Croft is a former gymnastic representative for Great Britain who has entertained Prince Charles.
23-year-old receptionist Alison Carroll will now join Angelina Jolie and Nell McAndrew (as well as a host of others we can't remember) as the official face of the Tomb Raider game franchise.
She will now undertake a series of courses which will include a SAS survival, combat and semi-automatic weapon firing courses in Eastern Europe, and a crash course in world archaeology.
Once completely trained in the ways of video gaming’s leading lady, Alison will be lining up a host of international modelling assignments, starring in TV commercials, appearing on chat shows.
Alison Carroll 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 a fantastic opportunity and I am really looking forward to embracing Lara’s world"
"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."
Alison is an elite gymnast who has flown the flag for Great Britain and wowied Prince Charles when she appeared at a special event at Westminster Abbey.
She is also a dedicated coach of younger gymnasts, and recently choreographed the routine for the junior team that won the British National Championships.
The upcoming game Tomb Raider: Underworld will be the first designed specifically for next generation consoles. In it Lara Croft uncovers proof of the existence of the mythical hammer of the Norse God Thor, a weapon rumored to have the power to smash mountains into valleys and destroy the Gods themselves.
