While Angelina Jolie's work in films was highly regarded, she emerged as a box office leading lady in the 2001 film "Tomb Radar," playing the iconic role of Lara Croft. And while it certainly was a good career move, Jolie had some initial doubts about accepting the gig. She told Cinema that she was skeptical. "I was flattered, but I thought it was ridiculous," she revealed. "I don't like video games."
Her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller did, though; she'd observe him playing and think, "Oh, look at her breasts." Fortunately, Jolie was persuaded after seeing that there was actual substance to the film's character.
Still, that wasn't Jolie's only challenge, as getting into shape for the film was a serious job. "It was two and a half months of tough training," she continued. "They had me on bunjis. I'm dog sledding. They had me up at seven each morning and handed me a protein shake." Fortunately, Jolie said she enjoyed the extreme training because she's an extreme person, and that eagerness was evident in her stunts. "I've always been ridiculously fearless," she added. "I feel alive when I'm afraid."
