She's one of the sexiest actors alive and in a b&w swimsuit for a shoot with controversial celebrity photographer Terry Richardson, Charlize Theron showcased her 5ft10in supermodel figure and Marilyn Monroe-inspired locks. The 38-year-old Oscar winner looked flawless with her smoky eye make-up, dark lips, and matching manicure. The South African beauty vamped up the July cover of Esquire and admitted her lifestyle would not be considered enviable by 'a lot of women.' 'I'm sure there's a lot of aspects to my life that a lot of people wouldn't want,' Charlize told the mag. 'Just personal choice things. Like the fact that I'm [unmarried] at 38. That's not necessarily what a lot of women want.'
Unmarried yes, but Theron has spent the past five months romancing fellow A-lister Sean Penn. 'It was nice to be single and now it's nice to be not single,' the Prometheus actress said of her unexpected relationship. 'I wasn't in any place that I even wanted something like that...it's like if you are open to something, if you just let it happen, it will happen. When you least expect it.' The 53-year-old Oscar winner will soon direct Charlize in the African romantic drama The Last Face alongside Javier Bardem and Adèle Exarchopoulos.
The Young Adult funnywoman - who's mother to two-year-old son Jackson - said she always knew she'd adopt a child. 'I was like, "Ah, finally!"' Charlize said of the adorable boy. But Theron insisted that motherhood was 'not the reason' behind her 2010 split from Stuart Townsend after a nine-year courtship. She said: 'In his defense, it was not that he didn't want to have children, it was just something that never worked out.'
The bulk of the Esquire interview involved Charlize's decision to play a woman traumatized by the massacre of her family in Dark Places - due out September 1. When the Monster actress was 15 her mother Gerda was forced to shoot Theron's alcoholic father Charles dead after he threatened them both. The 1991 shooting on the family's farm in Benoni was later ruled by a judge as self-defense, and her mother faced no charges. 'It's titillating. It sells magazines, at the expense of me and other people who were involved,' she said of her family tragedy. 'I'm asking for it a little bit with [Dark Places]. I'll 'fess up to that. This is why it's so hard: I get it. I get that people, if they know the [Gillian Flynn] book, would be like, "Oh, of course Charlize is doing this."
The former ballerina continued: 'I’m not denying that [my father's death] is a part of me. I just don't think it's the only part of me, and I think sometimes people like to blow it out of proportion.' On Tuesday, Charlize joined her A Million Ways to Die in the West castmates Amanda Seyfried and Seth MacFarlane for a London photo-call. The western-comedy - hitting US theatres Friday - also stars Liam Neeson and Neil Patrick Harris. 'I don't think I'm funny in it,' the recent SNL host admitted. 'But I don't think that was my job...I don't do comedies, I mean, I just don't.'
