Alicia Vikander Was so Cold she Turned Blue on ‘Tomb Raider’ set

Alicia Vikander in "Tomb Raider"

Husbands, headlines, kids and awards ago, Angelina Jolie was Miss “Tomb Raider.” No more. In its new incarnation, that Lara Croft role is Alicia Vikander.

“The Danish Girl” says: “I’ve dreamt since I was a kid to do a big-action adventure. At age 8, friends had a PlayStation and they played ‘Lara Croft.’ ”

About the film’s physical exploits: “Pain? Real. Water? Cold. Bruises and hits you just suck up. The chill is the tough thing. When you reach hypothermia level, we had to reshoot because I turned too blue.”

Walton Goggins, playing the villain, says he’s not that buff. “I was embarrassed to take my shirt off, and I go to the gym five days a week.”

♥ our cops

I don’t know why, but my thoughts just ran to Sgt. Conor McDonald, the cop son of the late shot and paralyzed patrolman Steven McDonald.

At a time when some think it’s quick and smart to rap our NYPD, let’s never forget those who are no longer here and it’s because they were here for us.

Awaiting the latest ‘Angels’

March 25, Nathan Lane and Andrew Garfield reopen Tony Kushner’s award winner “Angels in America.” Set in Reagan’s ’80s, the height of our AIDS crisis, it reopens in Trump time, the height of our sexual-harassment crisis.

Jordan Roth, Jujamcyn’s medicine man behind the production: “I started college when this originally opened. I wanted to be in show business. Actor or writer.

“This was Kushner’s approach to a problem, which over time turned into a true prophecy. The scenario evolved, little changes, from its origin. I remember thinking then: ‘Please don’t let this end.’

“I think the same now. Politically and personally, there are so many ways for each of us. For all our struggles sexually, who’s ever going to let this end?

“This story’s ripped out of our hearts. What we need right now on Broadway. The condition of our world is that — in terms of claiming our own sexual power — theater can be about where we are now.

“Theater is for taking our pain, validating by ‘show and tell’ what could be a way forward. It’s who gets to tell their story. Expand the canvas.

Responsibility is to get those voices on our stages so more people can tell their stories.

“There’s a place for happy musicals and high kicking. Theater means all of that. It’s a big Broadway. But there’s enough for high joy, high pain and high truth.”

And those many other stories this country wants to tell?

“Let’s say there may be works for others with experiences to tell. Stay tuned.”

The run is 18 weeks. Per its original incarnation, the production’s in two parts. See both together, matinee and evening, or Part 1 then Part 2 on a successive night — starting at $45 per performance.

Turns out all off them were stage people.

Timothée Chalamet did John Patrick Shanley’s play ‘Prodigal Son,’ Laurie Metcalf is a Broadway vet, and actor’s son Tracy Letts also writes his own theater works.
