Esquire magazine has named Scarlett Johansson 2013′s the sexiest woman alive, seven years after bestowing the honour on her the first time. The 28-year-old actress (and occasional musician) graces the cover of the men’s magazine’s November issue and is the first to be named sexiest woman twice.

In an interview for the cover story, Johansson says she has to do as much as possible before her career options shrink. “You know, I gotta hustle. I’m a 28-year-old woman in the movie business, right?” she said. “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.”
