Charlize Theron posed in a sexy black and white bathing suit while Terry Richardson took pictures for July 2014's Esquire magazine cover. The actress resembled Marilyn Monroe with wavy blonde hair, smoky eyes, and dark lipstick. Find out what she had to say about her life as a star and Sean Penn!

"I'm sure there's a lot of aspects to my life that a lot of people wouldn't want," Theron revealed. "Just personal choice things. Like the fact that I'm [unmarried] at 38. That's not necessarily what a lot of women want."

She also spoke openly about her boyfriend of five months Sean Penn.

"It was nice to be single and now it's nice to be not single," the "Hancock" star explained. "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."

Theron also revealed she "always knew" she would adopt a child, as she plays mother to two year old son Jackson, and insists he is not the reason she split from longtime partner Stuart Townsend.

"In his defense, it was not that he didn't want to have children, it was just something that never worked out," she stated.

Theron can now be seen in Seth MacFarlane flick "A Million Ways To Die In The West." She will also star in "The Last Face" with Javier Bardem and Adèle Exarchopoulos, which is directed by her new hubby Penn.

"I don't think I'm funny in it," the blonde bombshell said of her role in "A Million Ways To Die In The West." "But I don't think that was my job...I don't do comedies, I mean, I just don't."
