Oscar-winner Vikander, who lives in Lisbon with husband Michael Fassbender , was interviewed in London’s The Independent this week about sexism on set, the battle for equal opportunities and speaking out against intrusive media coverage.

The interview is focused as much on female interaction as the male view and treatment of women. One hideous example — and AOC remembers it — is convo that Vikander endured when she took over the Lara Croft franchise from Angelina Jolie.

One of the most egregious criticisms was that her breasts were not as pointy as Lara Croft’s in the original Nineties video game. Vikander admits it felt “invasive”. But, she adds, “the more and more people who mentioned it, the more I saw opportunities to speak out against it, and people seemed to be encouraging that at the end. It was an opportunity to show off a new kind of female role model.”
