Scarlett Johansson Is Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive!! The Only Two-Time Winner Claims 'It's Okay To Be Jealous"

The Black Widow was chosen as Esquire Magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive. She is the first two-time winner, as she was the youngest winner at 21 years old in 2006.

Seven years later, Scarlett hasn't lost it at 28. She is awarded the title again in one of the busiest years of her career-she just finished promotions for "Don Jon" which is Joseph Gordon-Levitt's sexy directorial debut. She plans to take a month long break before resuming her other film projects like "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."

Excerpts from the Esquire interview follows.  

On her need to take a break: "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(the interview). 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."

On being the Sexiest Woman Alive: "I'm the only woman to win it twice, right? 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. Sounds pretty bloodless, I guess."

She recently got engaged to Romain Dauriac, French journalist who heads his own creative agency. Will she be a jealous wife? "It's okay to be jealous, for example, which people think is irrational. To let yourself care that much that the emotion might hurt you a little. Look, I'm with a Frenchman. I think jealousy comes with the territory. But I'd rather be with someone who's a little jealous than someone who's never jealous. There's something a little dead fish about them. A little bit depressing. It may not make sense, but you need to feel it a little. I know, irrational, right?"

She continues:  "I didn't think I was a jealous person," she says, "until I started dating my current, my one-and-only. I think maybe in the past I didn't have the same kind of investment. Not that I liked my partner less, I just wasn't capable of it or caring that much."
