ENTREVUE Tr4 (LARA) |
The silicon super
babe made flesh as GameSpot UK meets Lara Weller, the latest physical incarnation
of the delectable Ms Lara Croft.
| So what's it like to play Lara Croft? |
| It's great to play Lara Croft, she is such a big icon, she's strong, sexy, independent and a good role model for women. |
| Do you drink Lucozade? |
| Sometimes when I feel a bit tired or have had a heavy night, a drop of Lucozade and I feel alive again. |
| How did you get the job? |
| Eidos were searching to find the new Lara Croft, there was a big casting session and they came to my modelling agency, after which I had two more casting calls and a month later I got the job. |
| What else do you do? |
| I do other modelling jobs as well and I travel as much as I can, because that's one of my great passions. |
| Did you enjoy this year's E3? |
| Yes, it was a madhouse, but it was a great experience to be in La La land (Los Angeles). |
| Apart from your name, what other stuff have you got in common with Ms Croft? |
| The urge to travel and explore, and I have heard we look similar. |
| So where in the world have you been as Lara? |
| I have only represented her for a short while, but the agenda is looking full of some great destinations. |
| Do you play games and have you played Tomb Raider? |
| Well now that I represent Lara Croft, I would like to know more about the actual games. |
| What's the best and what's worst question you've been asked as Ms Croft? |
| Most questions have been fine, but if people ask me any stupid questions, they can expect some silly answers back. |
| What's the best and what's the worst thing about playing Lara Croft? |
| Well the outfit can get quite hot sometimes, but for the most part, it's a great experience. |
| So where do you go from playing a virtual computer character? |
| Hopefully it will lead onto other things, I would love to present a talk show or a travel show. |
