Esquire magazine has named Charlize Theron as its "sexiest woman alive" this year, according to the New York Daily News.

The Oscar-winning actress, 32, is featured in a photo shoot in the magazine's new issue.

The South African beauty gets political, and points an accusing finger at the Oval Office.

"I grew up in a country that learned the lesson that you can't impose your way of life on 26 different kinds of people just because you call yourself righteous," she says. "I think there are lessons this country still has to learn."
