| Lara Weller -
Interview
Did you know
anything about Lara and Tomb Raider before you got the part?
Yes, my boyfriend is addicted to the game. He plays it all the time.
How do you feel
about representing a fictitious digital character?
It has taken time to sink in that I will actually become Lara Croft, but the
more I think about it the more excited I get about the whole idea. It is
actually quite amazing as in the past people have mentioned that I remind them
of the Tomb Raider girl!
Do you think you
have much in common with Lara?
Yes, I believe I do. The most obvious thing being our names. I also love
adventure just like Lara Croft.
What are your
aspirations for the future?
I hope to be a model as long as I possibly can. I would also like to open a
club that specializes in Yoga and also sells health products. Then hopefully
settle down and have a lovely house and start a family.
What are your
favourite leisure activities?
I enjoy socializing, yoga, going to the cinema, clubbing and travelling.
Lara's a bit of
a globetrotter - have you visited many countries yourself?
Yes, I have visited a vast amount of countries in Europe. Travelled to the
States. My favourite trip was one I went on with my boyfriend to the Maldives.
What's been your
favourite job so far and why?
My favourite job so far was the shoot I did for Comfort. The photographer I
worked with was great and everyone worked really well as a team that day. The
money was not too bad either. The best thing out of it was to see myself
plastered all over the bus stops, train stations, etc. of London.
How did you
start your modelling career - did you always want to be a model?
I did not actually think about modelling until someone stopped me in Holland
and asked me if I would be interested in modelling. I did a little bit of part
time modelling in Holland. Then I decided to try my luck in London.
Work History:
I have been modelling for four years now. I have done various jobs from
editorial shoots i.e. More mag, GQ mag, Men's Health, etc. Some advertising for
Harrods, Comfort, Fiorelli and Fosters Calendar shoot. In general I do seem to
get most of my work from lingerie and swimwear.
