Camilla Luddington, best known for her role as Jo on Grey’s Anatomy, comes across as pretty normal. She tweets about Saturday plans to watch home renovation shows, she loves her dog, and she roots for Jo and Alex to kiss and make up, just like the rest of us.
And, just like a lot of us, she’s a geeky fangirl. In fact, “I geeked out,” is a regular phrase for Luddington in interviews.
Regarding her first day on set for Grey’s: “I geeked out. And I snuck in [to Meredith’s house…” And being cast as Claudette Crane on True Blood: “I geeked out completely when I got it, and every second on set, I’m geeking out.”
She’s also described herself as “kind of a loser” and tells stories about how she would sneak her brother’s copy of the original Tomb Raider; undoubtedly she “geeked out” when asked to voice Lara Croft for the video game Tomb Raider in 2013 and it’s sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider.
It’s pretty nice to know that the girl behind Lara Croft’s voice could actually Lara Croft in a movie. We know Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander were chosen for the role but wouldn’t it be super awesome if Camilla was Croft? Even for a TV-series? Netflix, please make it happen.
Like other many actresses who appeared on Californication, Luddington went topless. It’s almost like a requirement if you’re a lesser known actress that’s not already famous.
Carla Gugino and Judy Greer were on the show and didn’t get naked. But Eva Amurri (omg her incredible breasts) had to dance the stripper pole topless. And Maggie Grace had to show off her butt.
And of course, Camilla had to show off her boobs and go fully naked while an equally naked bald man bangs her missionary style.
