40-year-old Penelope Cruz, actress, model, producer and mother of two children, has won the annual vote of Esquire magazine, and got the title of "Sexiest Woman in the World" for 2014. She did not deviate from tradition and gave an interview, accompanied by a candid photo shoot.

As a child I hated my name, it seemed very arrogant. I never wanted to be a celebrity; all I wanted is to be an actress. I never played in the school theater. Parents did not allow me to play until I graduated from college.
