Keira Knightley has revealed her fondness for kissing her co-star Johnny Depp in the 2006 film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which grossed over $1 billion worldwide.

In an interview with TMZ, the actress, who played Elizabeth Swann, expressed her admiration for Depp, saying that she had been a fan of his since childhood.

Knightley said that she begged the director for the kissing scene with Depp, which she found to be a great experience.

“I couldn’t ask for a better kissing scene with Johnny Depp actually, I think my 14 year-old self was yelping with pleasure. It was fantastic! What more can a girl ask for? I’ve got Johnny Depp,” Knightley said.

According to reports, the scene was worth the wait, and Knightley was pleased that she got the opportunity to kiss the star.

“I am glad I got it. It was good, really good,” she said.

However, Depp had a different experience with the kiss.

The actor, who played the role of Jack Sparrow, said that he felt “unbelievably awkward” during the scene.

Speaking about the kiss, Depp said that Knightley was a minor at the time, which made the experience uncomfortable for him.

“Any kind of scene like that whenever you’re doing that sort of thing, it’s always unbelievably awkward especially having met Keira when she was 17 years old,” Depp said.

Despite feeling uncomfortable, Depp praised Knightley for being a good sport during the shoot.

“It’s always awkward, so you kind of just make light of it; she was a good sport, and we just did what we had to do. That’s the gig,” he said.

Depp’s kissing skills have been a popular topic among his female co-stars.

Many of them have admitted to being fans of his work and kissing skills.

Depp has gained a massive following due to his acting abilities, which brought several iconic characters to life in various films.

Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Depp has faced legal troubles in recent years.

In 2020, he was involved in a defamation lawsuit with his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

However, the actor has continued to work on new projects and is set to make a comeback in a French film.

Depp’s career took off in his early twenties, and he has remained a popular figure in the entertainment industry for decades.

His ability to bring life to iconic characters on-screen has made him a fan favorite among audiences worldwide.

Knightley, who has had a successful acting career of her own, starred alongside Depp in two Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

The films were both box office successes, grossing over $1 billion each worldwide.

In recent years, Knightley has taken a break from acting to focus on her family.

She has two children with her husband, musician James Righton.

Despite her hiatus from acting, Knightley remains a popular figure in the entertainment industry.

She has been praised for her performances in films like Pride & Prejudice and Atonement.
