Shop attendant Karima Adebibe becomes new Lara Croft

Posted at February 15, 2006 10:23 AM

Replacing Angelina Jolie, a shop attendant from London is chosen to become the new flesh and blood of Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider games and films.

from www.fastcar.co.uk:

New Lara Croft Announced!

Angelina Jolie has been replaced as the in-the-flesh variant of Tomb Raider-legend Lara Croft. The new name to note is Karima Adebibe.

Karima who? Well, we can't blame you. Most of the world has never heard of her, but after a series of unlikely twists of fate, she is about to launch from obscurity into stardom: Computer game house Eidos have chosen Karima Adebibe from Bethnal Green as the new flesh and blood representation of Lara Croft.

Replacing the gorgeous Angelina Jolie, Karima will have to attend boot-camp and get clued up on the job as the job as every geek-boy's wet dream pretty damn quick. Up until recently, Karima was a sales assistant at Top Shop in London. She also worked as a model.

Now she has to fill the boots (and other garmets, if you catch our drift) of the world's favourite female action archaeologist.

she's hot

I don't she replaces Angelina Jolie. Ms Jolie is still the movie Lara. Karima replaces whoever was the last Lara stand-in for the promotional stuff.

Wax the stash a little better and do some crunches.
Pretty mopey looking if you ask me. Doesn't look as athletic as Jolie.

Hope Karima does not change much....she is hotter than anorexic fake boobs Angelina

At least she doesn't have the face structure of a man like Jolie. Karima is way better looking.

KARIMA, I AM WONDERING WHERE SHE IS FROM ORIGINALLY? IS SHE OF PERSIAN OR ARAB DESCENT? HER NAME WOULD SUGGEST SO.

yes, she is moroccan.

Posted by: SevenSnakes at April 7, 2006 12:24 PM

She is British from East London, her father is moroccan i believe...

Posted by: Andy at April 15, 2006 7:21 AM

Well... she is actually pretty, but I think that she sould work a little bit more on her "belly". But I belive that with the trainings she'll be perfect, just as Angelina.
But it's just weird havin' a new Lara, once that Angalina was the first one playin' in a movie... GOOG LUCK!!

Posted by: Elisio at May 8, 2006 9:16 AM

I think that Angelina really should continue to play Lara Croft for the movies, but I think Karim
a is perfect for any advertisment were tey want to use a live model for the games

Posted by: Dakota at May 9, 2006 5:41 PM

I don't agree with Dakota saying that Miss Jolie should continue as Lara. Karima Adebibe of the other hand should replace her because she REALLY looks the part. She's got the Hair,face,body, and stance. I think Miss Jolie is a bad person and should not continue, and she has children to be attending to instead. And Karima Adebibe is only 20 years old. So she can be doing it longer. Angelina Jolie SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angelina is a terrible actor and manipulative in the media. How can so many people go under her spell so easily? I wish more people can see that. Karima Adebibe who was the new promosional model looks more like Lara Croft, younger and natural, And isn't a hypocritical cheat and liar, Since Angie hates her dad for cheating on her mother, yet she was part of an affair for 10 years with a woman and even caused the marriage of Brad Pitt to end. To add more to that, she claims to be helping the poor and Nambia, yet lives in a nice large estate nearby with personal hotel workers serving her? Ha!


I personally think Karima would be much better. Angelina is just an ugly person, in the outside and the inside.

i belive that angelina feets lara's role perfectly and thats the most important thing and not her personal life....this karima is not acting naturally...and she isnt made for lara's role.Anyway she isnt as beautifull as angelina and she has to work very much at her body if she whants to be as atletic as angelina is in order to feet the role.If not...than what is she doing playing lara croft which is a very active and powerful woman.lets be serious....

This is cool, you have to try it. I guessed 37218, and this game guessed it! See it here - http://www.funbrain.com/guess/

Posted by: Allison Trump at May 31, 2006 2:41 PM

Jesus, Karima looks EXACTLY like Lara Croft. She suits her costume very well. Not to mention she's DAMN HOT...

Posted by: james c. at June 2, 2006 10:36 AM

Flo, who ever you are you suck!

Angelina is horrible for the character Lara. Well I mean she's a good actor don't get me wrong, but not for that kind of role, it doesn't work for her. And besides, what is with though's huge lips?!? They make her, well they make her not as hot, to a fare few other female actors.

When I first started playing the Tomb Raider games, I pictured the real life (like in the movies), Lara Croft to be very similar to Karima Adebibe's style/looks for the real Lara.

Karima Adebibe however, looks/fits more like Lara Croft. She's got the Hair style, facial expirations, THE BODY, and stance. Plus she's younger and is more natural for the role than Angelina. I personaly think that Karima Adebibe could EASILY take Angelina's role in the movie's (if they make more), of Tomb Raider if Karima tried.

Last thing, KARIMA ADEBIBE SOO FREAKING HOT!!!!!!

Sorry everybody! It's the "Angel_4you" that doesn't know what she's/he's talking about, and not Flo. So Flo, if you read this, I'm sorry

Posted by: Spike-a.k.a Rob at June 30, 2006 2:18 PM

Come on people you all effing suck Angelina is the most perfect for the role, she is a strong and independent woman, just like lara croft, she was made for the role!!! This new chich looks weak she does NOT fit the part at all shes just a spoilt little modle playing dress-up. Angelina suits the role because in a big way she is very simmiler to lara. People look at the difference dont think about what the media says think of their personallity, how they are and how they are then you will see that angie is perfect for the role!!!!!!!

Posted by: Kate at July 30, 2006 10:38 PM

Interesting choice, does not look 20 though. Once she works out I guess she will be perfect for the role. Who cares really??

Posted by: yep at August 2, 2006 11:54 AM

karima is definitely pretty enough to play the role, but she's missing the persona, stance and character that angelina hit to a solid point. she has too much of an innocent look and it shows through as she is holding the guns without any real experience. angelina brought lara to life by putting herself into her acting; there was no one better to play lara croft, and karima might come close if she works on her character, but there is only one angelina jolie that can play lara croft.

i am an absolute jolie fan.
yet, when i compare karima to angelina--in their own way, each is divinely beautiful.
angelina is a goddess, and karima looks like the angel of darkness.
as for being natural, if you zoom the picture of karima (not the one above), but another where she is facing the camera straight on, you can see small cuts exactly at the same spot on each breast--the inner side on each boob--most likely meaning she had implants.
as for jolie, she has huge lips, and as to whether they are natural or not, i don't know nor will i even try to guess, but i do like them.
but being that she now has 3 kids with more on the way, she does need to settle down and really devote her time and energy to these kids instead of to us--lara croft fans.

Posted by: angelina at August 23, 2006 12:29 AM

SHE looks like Lara Croft in the new game> CUZ she was a model for the new Lara Croft! And i think in Tomb Raider Legends and the old ones she kinda looks like Lara Crift's daughter or neice..or watever(about the new Lara Croft in Legends) Really GUYS!

Posted by: CandySexiGirl at August 27, 2006 5:34 PM

I thinnk that Angelina Jolie is much better than Karima.Angelina looks more beautiful and natural than this fake boobs. She is a grate actress ,besides she has won awards so this means that she is a good actress.And Karima Adebibe would never be as good as Angelina.In fact Karima looks like a porn actress and Angelina looks like an inteligent and sexy woman.Therefore I can say that she is the best.

Posted by: Kayako at September 4, 2006 2:23 AM

Heyyyyyyyyyy.Angelina is the best woman in the worlds.She help people arounf the world.She is beautyfull and god....But Katrina Kabimbe looks like a hore with basketball in her chest.If would jump like a kangaroo with those huge boobs.I hope that her cheap silicon doesn't explote while she is making stunt.She is a horse.She looks like 50 years old.

Posted by: Kayako at September 4, 2006 2:32 AM

this is digusting you cant replace ange with some brittish bimbo (no offence) she just hasnt got the body or the personality im disgusted if they bring out a movie with her as lara im not even going to watch it.

Posted by: steven deane at September 18, 2006 4:07 AM
