Penelope Cruz has been named the Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire magazine.
The Spanish bombshell - who has two children with husband Javier Bardem - certainly lives up to the title on the magazine cover, posing in just a plunging black bathing suit with her hair in tousled waves over her shoulders.
Penelope, 40, inherits the title from Scarlett Johansson, who last year won the accolade for the second time.
But Penelope, 40, is keeping quiet about her personal life. She declined to comment about her actor husband Javier , as well as their two children. ‘That is for us,’ she said.
The Blow star gave birth to daughter Luna on July 22, 2013, in Madrid.
She and her 44-year-old Spanish actor husband Javier Bardem also have a son Leonardo who was born in 2011 in Los Angeles. Penelope and Javier starred together in 2008’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona and were married in July 2010.
She will next be seen in the Spanish-language film Ma Ma and in Grimsby, with Sacha Baron Cohen.
