Lara Croft model not familiar with Indiana Jones or the Holy Grail photo

The new Lara Croft model, Alison Carroll, has two ridiculously large assets – beauty and grace. Those two things serve her spectacularly well when the camera is rolling, but they don’t help when an interviewer starts asking questions about Lara Croft’s subject matter, archaeology.

At a recent photo event, a Danish news reporter was able to sit down with Carroll for a video interview. Unfortunately, the questions the interviewer began asking were unknown by both Carroll and her publicist. It led to a hilariously uncomfortable interview. She even missed the joke question of “was it you or Indiana Jones who found the Holy Grail?”

While there probably isn’t any redemption on the horizon, at least Carroll can take solace in the fact that her being a model means that she doesn’t need to know the answers to the interviewer’s questions. Although, I think if Lara Croft was presented with that situation she would have just kicked the dude in the face instead of trying to be polite.

I thought her two ridiculously large assets were right boob and left boob.

Well, I honestly can't say I'm surprised - she does have the title "Model" attached to her name...

@Holyetheline: way to take the subtle joke and just completely spell it out for everybody, thereby ruining it.

As far as the news item, why would an interviewer be asking her archaeology questions anyway? It's obvious she's just a poster girl.

Good thing I scrolled down instead of struggling with the title or else I would have been stumped all night.

ShadowkatRegn has a good point.

Yeah that's a very "thank god she's pretty" kinda moment.

I still think that if she's representing the product she should know a little more it and it's subject matter. but it's still hard to argue with her more noticeable assets

I don't think she was hired on account of her knowledge of pop culture and medieval Christian mythology.

Aw man, didn't they school the last one, Karima Adebibe, in case of just such a scenario?

You are Lara Croft, the female version of Indiana Jones(but with faaaaaar inferior movies), and you don't even know who he is!? The greatest character in cinema history?

You'd think that she'd at least take a quick crash course on Lara Croft lore (just for times like this), but oh well.

She's gorgeous, and happens to resemble a famous character. Obviously -- in her case -- it's enough.

@ vexed alex

Wait, you're on a video game blog that worships a giant green robot head and cocks, and you just called someone a nerd?

Um...damn LOL. CRAZY amounts of irony.

Why even ask her questions, I'd just sit there and stare at her for a while and get more out of that than listening to her answer questions she has no idea about.

No. And there doesn't need to be any reason.

Now, please go away. Go make up some Final Fantasy theories or something.

Ironically, because she has such a sexy accent anything retarded she says has the effect of making me want to bone her even more.

America must be the only place in the world where the English accent is considered sexy.

Maybe she is a Nazi sympathizer and refuses to acknowledge that Indiana Jones existed.
