Megan turns down lead role of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider


Megan Fox is certainly not the brightest candle on the birthday cake here, but we figured she’d have at least enough sense to know a good opportunity when it presented itself. The starlet has reportedly been offered the lead role of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, but has been reluctant to accept of the inevitable Angelina Jolie comparisons. One source close to the situation says that:

“The offer has been on the table for Megan for a while but she’s reluctantly turned it down. She’s the logical choice to play Lara and she loves the character but the comparison with Angelina is too much. It looks like the movie will now star an unknown.”

Is Megan insane? Megan Fox + shorts + action= box office gold! It’s a simple formula so the fact that Megan doesn’t want to pounce on the opportunity is completely crazy to me. Though I’m sure being compared to Angelina Jolie isn’t easy, I’m pretty sure with a multimillion dollar return on the trouble, Megan could probably overlook that.

Is the awesomeness of Tomb Raider a distant memory to you? Well please allow us to remind you why it was so entertaining and why it helped make Angelina a star. Video after the jump.
