LONDON — Jack O’Connell, 24, is a hot property right now. Following his much-acclaimed performance earlier this year in the angry prison drama “Starred Up,” now he is receiving rave reviews for his part in director Yann Demange’s high-octane debut “’71.” And then there’s his highly anticipated role in director Angelina Jolie’s “Unbroken” later this year. The rising young star says he’s not letting all the attention go to his head — he just thinks about what’s next and how he can do the best possible job. “Otherwise I’d just be a one-trick pony. I just got to look forward,” he says. In “’71,” O’Connell plays Gary Hook, a British soldier lost in the streets of Belfast. For the half-English, halfIrish actor, Northern Ireland’s decades of unrest are a very real part of his
family history. “I had to know that the film wasn’t going to try and point fingers and take a biased view on anything, nor portray anyone either side of the divide unfairly,” he said. He even considered joining the military as a teen. “I thought there was an honor in it and I still believe that,” he said.

LOS ANGELES — Penelope Cruz is Esquire’s “sexiest woman alive.” Cruz is the 11th woman to be given the title by the magazine. Previous honorees include Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Rihanna, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson. The “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Vanilla Sky” actress tells Esquire that she had “an attraction to drama” in her
teens and 20s but “could not be less interested now.” Cruz is keeping quiet about her
personal life. She declined to comment to the magazine about her actor husband, Javier Bardem, as well as their two children. She says, “That is for us.” The actress will next be seen in the Spanish-language film “Ma Ma” and in “Grimsby” with Sacha Baron Cohen. The November issue of Esquire will be on newsstands Oct. 21.

perience “maturing.” “It made a man out of me and it broke me, contrary to the title,” he said.The actor described Zamperini, who he met before his death in July at age 97, as a “most extraordinary human being.” “He was so humble,” he added. “He never once considered himself anything extraordinary at all.” O’Connell said “Unbroken” was his big biggest challenge to date because he was “under the command of one of the most famous people on the planet” — director Jolie. “I think the more I focused on the enormity of the whole project, the more it felt beyond me,” he said. “Unbroken” is set for U.S. release Dec. 25, reaching UK cinemas on Dec. 26.
