Karima Adebibe (born February 14, 1985 in London, England) is an English actress and model of Moroccan and of Irish/Greek descent.[1]
Formerly a sales assistant at the clothing store Topshop, she was selected on February 14, 2006 (both her birthday and that of Lara Croft) to be the seventh (and current) model for Lara Croft in the popular video game series Tomb Raider.[2] The role involves promoting the game series "in-character" on television and radio, so Adebibe is undergoing training in Lara Croft's trademark skills, from martial arts to elocution.[3]
She had previously had a small role as a sacrificial maiden in the 2004 film Alien vs. Predator.[4]
