When it came time to find a stunt double for Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider 2, producers had to look outside the female gender. Jolie had been working out so much that finding a suitable female look-alike became impossible. One man was the only person with a physique similar enough to take the role.

Hiring a male stunt double did come with some problems though. A crew member on location in England told a British tabloid, "We managed to fit him with a pair of false breasts which didn't look too bad."

There were also problems with character Lara Croft's skin-tight pants. "When it came to Lara's tight fitting trousers there was very little we could do about this guy's shape. His relevant bits were strapped down, and it can't have been very comfortable for him, but with clever camera angles and lighting the audience will never know," the crew member added.
