Scarlett Johansson is the sexiest woman alive, but the 28-year-old doesn’t seem phased by Esquire’s title. Her reaction: "I'm the only woman to win it twice, right?"
Though she may be dubbed the “sexiest,” the title doesn’t mean she has to work any less to get what she wants, specifically in her career, according to Johansson.
"You know, I gotta hustle. I'm a twenty-eight-year-old woman in the movie business, right?" the actress told Esquire. "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."
Like most Hollywood actresses, she feels the pressure to make the best of her youth and refine her craft. And the pressure takes a toll, Johansson explained to the men’s magazine:
"I'm exhausted and this is my last day in the world. This is the last day, and this is the last piece of work. Then I'm taking a month-long vacation. But I'm not going anywhere, which just makes it more of a staycation. There's luxury in being near home. When you spend a lot of time, like I do, just standing around and waiting, or being moved from place to place, every minute gets consumed by something someone else has set up for you.
“And it's not like I'm always in a beautiful place wearing something gorgeous. I've stood around bogs wearing half a million dollars' worth of jewelry, up to my knees in the rot, thinking how much more or less the place smelled like a sewer than it did the day before. And that is not what you'd call a problem exactly; it just wears you out. What I want to do right now is sleep late, read the paper. I've come to see that there's something pretty great about having two hours to read."
Still, Johansson is making an impression in Hollywood. She recently used her sex appeal in the Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut, “Don Jon”. Her character Barbara was the epitome of the female’s stereotypical view on love.
