Academy Award-nominated actor Will Smith returns to the big screen next weekend with 'Focus', a con-man thriller co-starring Margot Robbie, and he is certainly hoping for different results than his last effort - the cataclysmic disaster of 'After Earth', which he cites as the most painful failure of his career in the March 2015 issue of Esquire magazine.

"Wild Wild West was less painful than After Earth because my son [Jaden Smith] was involved in After Earth and I led him into it. That was excruciating. What I learned from that failure is how you win. I got reinvigorated after the failure of After Earth. I stopped working for a year and a half. I had to dive into why it was so important for me to have number-one movies. And I never would have looked at myself in that way," the 46-year-old stud tells the magazine.

Before continuing, "After Earth comes out, I get the box-office numbers on Monday and I was devastated for about twenty-four minutes, and then my phone rang and I found out my father had cancer. That put it in perspective—viciously." Wow! Peep two more shots from his shoot below:

Rihanna loves playing the bad girl and who can blame her, when she does it so damn well. After stunning in a high-fashion spread for ELLE magazine, the Barbados-born beauty turns up the heat in a sizzling cover shoot for the December issue of Esquire U.K.

In the issue, which arrives on newsstands tomorrow (November 6th) and was shot by famed photographer Ellen Von Unwerth, the singer strips and shows of her killer naked figure, while dishing to the magazine about her favorite foods including Garbanzo Bean Salad, Cod Fish Cakes, Salt Fish And Callaloo and Bajan Rum Punch. Yum... and I'm not taking about the food.

Showing that age is truly just a number, Cameron Diaz dazzles in black bathing suit on the August 2014 issue of Esquire magazine, where she dishes her first nude scene in 'Sex Tape', being in her forties and why she decided not to have a baby.

"It's a first for me," she confesses of her sex scene in the July 18th comedy. "It's just a part of the role. So I did it. I mean, you see everything." While most actresses' confidence dim with age, she insists her age gives her a boost, saying, "I like being forty-one. I love it."

"So much shit just falls away," she continues. "Fear, mostly. It's the best age. That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn't care about that anymore. You just stop being afraid. You don't worry about what men think. You just don't worry that time registers anything awful." Peep another stunning photograph from inside the pages of publication beneath:

With his new film 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' set to hit theaters later this month, Mark Wahlberg fronts the June/July 2014 issue of Esquire magazine.

In the issue, the 43-year-old hunk opens up about fatherhood and his decision to complete his high school diploma, saying: "I can't tell my kids to go to school and get an education if I don't have a diploma. They'd start thinking, 'Why do we need to go? You didn't go and you turned out all right.' But I'm proud to have it. If I want to go on and further my education and study film or whatever, I can do that." The magazine is currently available on newsstands.

Australian-born stud Chris Hemsworth, who will next be seen in 'Thor: The Dark World' and 'Rush', shows off his mesmerizing good looks on the September 2013 issue of Esquire magazine, which is currently available on newsstands.

In the magazine, the 29-year-old blonde dishes on how he stays in shape for his roles, how he deals with the pressures that are put on him by comic book fans and his changing career aspirations. Read some interesting excerpts from the shoot beneath:

On Staying In Shape:
"Thor is large. For that I had to add some muscle, which hasn’t been all that hard so far. I like training just fine, thanks. But to play a Formula One driver, I had to drop quite a bit of that. You know, slim it down. First time I looked at a Formula One car in person, I just stared at the cockpit, figuring I’d never get in there. The drivers wear the whole car like a tight-fitting suit. So I just started training differently, shedding all that Thor. I’ve come to see size as just a kind of prop."

On His Big Career Aspirations:
"I remember being in high school, every week I had a different idea about what I wanted to do. One week it was Ah, I’m gonna be a doctor. The next it was I’m bound to be a professional sports player—you know, Aussie football and that stuff. Then I’d want to be a police officer. A lawyer. They were all elevated ideas to me, of me, in some way. Exaggerated conditions of what I wanted to be. Or of where I wanted to be. I can remember watching Lord of the Rings and being truly regretful that I wasn’t a being in that world."

On "Thor" and Comic Book Fans:
"You talk to the comic-book fans, people who’ve been there since the beginning—you know, since the sixties—and you realize the religious significance of this thing. And there is a kind of work that follows. You do your research. You listen and learn what you can. But then you let go. Eventually you’re down to it. You gotta make this guy your own. The challenge in the first installment was this fish-out- of-water quality, this naivete about everything that makes up earth. That was a familiar dynamic to me. A Crocodile Dundee thing, really. A stranger arrives at your shore. He’s in foreign territory, out of his element, with his own set of tools. Very powerful in one world, stripped of that power in the next."

With his new film 'World War Z' gearing up to hit theaters on June 21st, Brad Pitt plays it cool on the June/July cover of Esquire magazine, where he dishes on being hated for forgetting names, his drug use and finally deciding to take control of his life.

"So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them. So I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, This year, I'm just going to cop to it and say to people, 'Okay, where did we meet?' But it just got worse. People were more offended. Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I'll say, 'Thank you for helping me.' But I piss more people off. You get this thing, like, 'You're being egotistical. You're being conceited.' But it's a mystery to me, man. I can't grasp a face and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested."

Meanwhile, Pitt explained his change for the better, saying, "I spent years f––ing off. But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change. This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany – a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what's the point?"

Pitt went on to add, "For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing." Peep more shots below:

With her big dough eyes, long brown locks and ability to make us all laugh, Mila Kunis is undeniably one of the sexiest women in Hollywood and Esquire magazine seems to agree, because the publication has just named the star, The Sexiest Woman Alive.

With the honor, the 'Ted' star follows in the footsteps of previous honorees Rihanna and Halle Berry, and she makes it clear that she knows the powers of her looks, telling the magazine, "If I wanted to charm the pants off you, I could." More quotes beneath:

On Her Comedic Nature:

"I think I stumbled upon doing funny things, but I’m not funny. I just know how to deliver a joke. There are people who naturally exude humor and are constantly saying funny things, and there are the people who know how to deliver a joke. It’s a learned skill. Through twenty years of doing this, I practice it. I think that the second you think that you’re funny is when you stop being funny."

On Her Interest In Politics:

"I find it all to be incredibly entertaining. I went to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with Wolf Blitzer. It’s weird: You get invited by people you don’t know–and I never wanna go again, because I had the most incredible experience. Ever. I watch CNN or MSNBC all day long, every day. So I meet with Wolf, and I was like, 'Oh, my God. There’s Wolf Blitzer.' Like two drinks in, I just start talking. 'So, about Ahmadinejad‘s nephew …' Wolf was surprised I followed politics."

On Not Losing Sight Of Who She Is:

"I think that I’ve consciously separated my two lives. I love what I do. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. But when I’m done with work, I’m done with work. I think that if I bought into the hype, I would lose all sight of who I am, and so much of who I am is what my parents went through and instilled in me. And I never want to lose that. Ever. Because I would be so disappointed if I didn’t make them proud."
