Biography
About Karima Adebibe
Karima Adebibe's birthday falls on Valentine's Day, but it's her role as the face of Lara Croft that made her famous. Born on February 14, 1985, in London, England, she is a British model of mixed-race (primarily Middle Eastern) descent, with Moroccan, Irish, and Greek Cypriot heritage. She stands 5'8" and has a slim build with brown hair and hazel eyes.
Before her modeling career took off, Adebibe worked as a sales assistant at Topshop. In 2006, on her 21st birthday, she was selected to be the seventh model to portray Lara Croft for the Tomb Raider video game series. The role involved promoting the games in-character, so she trained in martial arts and elocution to embody the iconic adventurer. She also played a sacrificial maiden in the 2004 film Alien vs. Predator.
