Angelina Jolie, 50, Lara Croft Throwback Photo Leaves Fans Stunned

I stumbled across an old photo of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, and wow, it’s making the rounds online! It’s a shot from the set of “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life” – the 2003 film – and it perfectly captures her as the ultimate action heroine. It really takes you back!

The social media account Cinesthetic recently posted a photo of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft (from the 2003 film) on X. The post became popular quickly, with many people complimenting her performance and discussing whether anyone has played the character as well. One commenter wrote, “That was perfect casting, and it still looks great today.”

Angelina Jolie’s career took off when she played Lara Croft. Before that, she was known for independent films and her Oscar for Girl, Interrupted. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider showed she could carry a big-budget movie franchise, establishing her as a leading female action star in the 2000s.

Jolie remains incredibly busy with her career, but she’s now concentrating on different types of roles. She’s recently received positive attention for her performance in Maria, a film about the famous opera singer Maria Callas, directed by Pablo Larraín. “It was a demanding process,” Jolie explained in a recent interview. “I spent seven months training in opera to accurately portray her.”

She recently finished filming the comedy-drama Anxious People, which is based on a book by Fredrik Backman and also stars Aimee Lou Wood and Jason Segel. She’s also set to return to thrillers in the upcoming film Maude v Maude, where she’ll be acting alongside Halle Berry.

Good news for Disney enthusiasts! Angelina Jolie will be back to play Maleficent in a third movie, continuing the tale of the iconic fairy and Queen Aurora.

Angelina Jolie is doing more than just acting these days. Through Atelier Jolie, she’s focused on creative projects and helping people around the world. She’s held workshops in New York and continues to showcase the work of talented craftspeople globally. Whether she’s playing adventurous roles in films or advocating for important causes, Jolie continues to be a powerful and inspiring figure.
