Scarlett Johansson Named Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire

For the second time, Esquire has named Scarlett Johansson as the Sexiest Woman Alive. Johansson first received the title in 2006.

The actress, coming off a stint in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF on Broadway and a promotional tour for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's DON JON, told the magazine: "You know, I gotta hustle. I'm a twenty-eight-year-old woman in the movie business, right? Pretty soon the roles you're offered all become mothers. Then they just sort of stop. I have to hedge against that with work-theater, producing, this thing with Esquire."
