PHWOAR-A CROFT!
AS TOMB RAIDER LAUNCHES NEW GAME THIS WEEK, CHECK OUT THE REAL-LIFE VERSIONS OF...
REACH for your joysticks, folks – because we’re celebrating Lara Croft’s TOPLESS tradition.
This week has seen the release of the latest Tomb Raider video game.
And since her first appearance in 1996, video game bosses have used real women to play gun-totting archaeologist Lar Croft in real life. And loads of them have gone topless!
Brit Rhona Mitra, 36, squeezed into Lara’s hot-pants and vest to promote the game between 1997 and 1998, before airing her 34DD boobs in 2000 film Hollow Man.
Vanessa Demouy, 39, who whipped out her pair in French TV series Xanadu, also did a stint in 1998, before handing the reins to Leeds lass Nell McAndrew.
The 39-year-old blonde, seen flashing her 34D breasts for her 2002 calendar, was sacked in 1999 after posing nude for Playboy – paving the way for Lucy Clarkson to take over.
Lucy, 30, from Rotherham, South Yorks, who showed her 32DD assets on holiday in 2009, posed as Lara for the 2000 promotional campaign.
Scorcher
In 2001, Hollywood hottie Angelina Jolie, 37, played the feisty history buff in the Tomb Raider movie, three years after revealing her 36C top rack in Gia.
Dutch scorcher Jill de Jong, 31, who
went topless in Nature Calls became Lara in 2002.
Pretty actress Keeley Hawes, 37, who provided the voice for the digital version of Lara between 2007 and 2010, also has a boobs-out past, having peeled off in 2000 film Retribution.
And the current provider of the action babe’s voice, fellow Brit Camilla Luddington, 29, gave us a glimpse of her boobs in Yank telly series Californication back in 2007.
Sadly, developers Crystal Dynamics stopped using models to promote the game years ago.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the very best of the real life Lara Crofts!
