Talking to The Daily Mail, Angelina Jolie revealed what she went through to become the incarnation Lara Croft.

"I’ve never really worn tight clothes like these," she said, referring to Lara’s distinctive tight t-shirts and shorts. Getting into character, Jolie underwent a strict physical regime in order to match the character’s sleek proportions. "In my first week here they took away cigarettes, alcohol and bread, but I’ve never eaten so much in my life. I’ve done months of training and I’ve gained weight and I finally feel like a woman."

Jolie worked with Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming on perfecting the right look for the character. "There’s sort of a mystical feeling about Lara Croft that we had to bring out in the way it looks. But Lara’s not sitting there, ready for action every minute, so for one of the most hair-raising sequences she’s in silky men’s style pyjamas that are quite alluring."
