Sophie Turner to Portray Lara Croft in New Tomb Raider Series

Sophie Turner has been chosen to play Lara Croft in Prime Video's upcoming Tomb Raider series. The 29-year-old actress, famous for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, secured the coveted role after competing against Mackenzie Davis, Emma Mackey, and Lucy Boynton.

Expressing her excitement, Sophie stated, "I am thrilled beyond measure to be playing Lara Croft. She's such an iconic character, who means so much to so many — and I am giving everything I've got."

Previous actresses Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander have also portrayed Lara Croft in movies, and Sophie is eager to follow their path. She is particularly looking forward to collaborating with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the show's creator, writer, and co-showrunner.

Phoebe, aged 40, shared her enthusiasm for the project, saying, "I'm so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team. Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out — Croft is coming."

Moreover, Sophie recently disclosed that filming Trust was a "super cathartic" experience for her. Despite facing challenges in her personal life, Sophie found solace in immersing herself in the film's production and enjoyed the opportunity to unleash her emotions on screen.

Travis Kelce has grown up, says Jason Kelce
Travis Kelce is "changing" because of new people in his life. The 35-sports star has been dating singer Taylor Swift since 2023, and Jason Kelce, Travis' older brother, has been staggered by his sibling's personal evolution. Speaking about his brother's growth, Jason said on the 'Fitz and Whit' podcast: "It’s been staggering, honestly." The 37-year-old star recalled Travis having a Peter Pan-like quality during his younger years. Jason said: "One of the things I love so much about Travis is that he never grew up. He was like Peter Pan, the lost boys." Jason acknowledged that the new people in Travis' life have had a healthy influence on him in recent times. The former NFL star said: "I think that sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you. That’s a good thing." Despite this, Travis has retained a playful side to his personality. Jason explained: "Trav, he is growing up. He’s still got that youthful enthusiasm. I think he’ll kind of always have that. It’s just part of his personality." Meanwhile, Travis recently admitted to feeling inspired by Taylor during her Eras Tour. The Kansas City Chiefs star admitted to taking inspiration from Taylor, 35, and her record-breaking tour. Speaking ahead of the Super Bowl, Travis explained: "What I saw on that tour last year was pretty remarkable. "To see the week-in, week-out travelling from one country to the next and how excruciating it is on her body and on her mind - and it’s not just her. It was her entire tour. It was an absolute machine and it was something I could admire watching." Travis also revealed that he was focusing on his diet ahead of the Super Bowl. He said: "I’ve been eating clean. I haven’t been drinking as much, a little lower on the pounds this week."
