The winner of the Academy Award, the Swedish actress Alicia Vikander became the heroine of the September issue of gloss Elle. In an interview with the journalists, the girl told about her work on the updated image of Lara Croft, her relationship with the legacy of her predecessor, Angelina Jolie. In addition, the 28-year-old actress shared her attitude to women's roles in the movies in our days.
Alicia admitted that she likes blockbusters, designed for a wide range of viewers:
"Before, I did not have to take part in such large projects. Action - it's great! In preparation for the role, my dancing past helped me a lot. The training was intense, but I managed it. In order to play this, you need to know and feel your body well, to understand what is happening to it. For example, before I did not have to lift weights proportional to my own weight. I will never forget the day when I finally succeeded. "
Best the enemy of the good?
Who would doubt that the most difficult for a young actress was the competition with the brilliant and charming Angelina Jolie! Or did you suspect that an ambitious Swede could scare physical training?
Lara Croft, performed by Alicia, is compared to the previous hypostasis of the heroine of computer games, and even Vicander's mother:
"Do you know how my mom reacted to the message about the new role? She said something like "Yes, I remember once Angelina Jolie played it cool!" Her words have become an unconditional proof that I will have to sweat. I wanted to give the viewer something completely different, unusual. "
