Angelina Jolie was a bit skeptical before accepted the role for Lara Croft. She explained, "I thought it was the craziest thing I ever heard. I mean, I was flattered, but I thought it was ridiculous. I don't like video games. My ex husband (Trainspotting(1996)'s Jonny Lee Miller) used to play 'Tomb Raider. ' I would walk by him and say, 'Oh, look at her bre*asts. '"
"But then I met with the director and he told me it wouldn't be campy or stupid. I realized it was a real movie with a solid character."
It wasn't easy for her to build muscle. She explained, "Getting some solid muscle mass wasn't easy".
"It was two and a half months of tough training. I had just wrapped a period piece (August's Original Sin (2000)) and I was drinking wine and smoking cigarettes and having a great time."
"Then I got to the 'Tomb Raider' set and the great adventure began. They had me on bunjis. I'm dog sledding. They had me up at seven each morning and handed me a protein shake. Suddenly, a nutritionist was giving me five meals a day."
"But you had to do these things to maintain your energy. And I liked the intense training because there is only one way to do something and for me it's in extremes."
