Karima Adebibe

Karima Adebibe (also known as Karima McAdams; born 24 July 1985) is an English actress and model.

Adebibe was born in Bethnal Green, in Tower Hamlets, London, England but grew up in Tangier before moving back to the UK.

Adebibe is of Irish, Greek Cypriot and Moroccan origins.

She had previously had a small role as a sacrificial maiden in the 2004 film Alien vs. Predator.

Formerly a secretary, she was selected on 14 February 2006 (Lara Croft's birthday) to be the seventh model for Lara Croft in the popular video game series Tomb Raider.

The role involved promoting the game series "in-character" on television and radio, so Adebibe underwent training in Lara Croft's trademark skills, from martial arts to elocution.

Adebibe was featured in "The HOT List" in a March 2006 issue of Zoo.

She retired from the role of Lara Croft in 2008.

She appeared in the film Frontier Blues in 2009.

In January 2021, she announced her pregnancy with her partner, rapper Professor Green.

Later in 2021, she welcomed her first born son with Professor Green.

The family lives in London.
