Watch ‘Tomb Raider’ Star Alicia Vikander Win a Lip-Syncing Contest at Age 8 (Video)
“Tomb Raider” star Alicia Vikander is not only a talented actress, but a talent lip syncer as well. When she was eight, Vikander actually took first place at a talent show in Sweden for it.
During her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Vikander revealed that she didn’t always want to be an actress.
“I used to dance and I like to sing — I wanted to be a florist for a while — but then it was quite interesting, two years ago, during the Oscars, people tried to go back and find clips online, and someone had dug out a clip of a famous children’s show that had existed for 10 years while I was growing up,” she said. “It was a lip sync battle — seven or eight years old.”
