Luddington originally went into the audition for Lara thinking she was auditioning for a project called "Krypted" with a character called Sara. She wore shorts and boots before she knew what the audition was for, because the character reminded her of Lara Croft. She screamed in her car when she found she got the role of Lara Croft. Luddington gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Hayden, in April 2017.
