Knightley asked to give kiss with Depp in Pirates · 2007-05-24 12:29
According to Johnny Depp, kissing Keira Knightley was "awkward".
The pair shared a smooch in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", but Johnny, 43, found it difficult to pucker up to Keira, 22, because of the big age gap between the two stars.
He said in an interview with New magazine: "The smooches are always so awkward, especially because Keira and I have never been in that kind of situation together. She's, like, three and I'm a thousand!"
"We've known each other for a few years and suddenly it was, "Are you ready for this"™ and you just do it. It becomes more like a stunt in a way. She was a great sport about it."
Keira has previously revealed she begged director Gore Verbinski to add the kiss between Captain Jack Sparrow and her character Elizabeth Swann, China Daily reports.
She said: "I was saying, "Give me one kiss, just give me one kiss'."
"I got it and it was good, really good."
Depp, who was nominated for an Oscar for his quirky portrayal of Captain Jack, said the pirates may rise again, CNN.com informs.
"There was always that potential that each of us would have to say goodbye to the character," Depp said. "But if it is over, which one never knows, Captain Jack will always be with me."
Even so, producer Jerry Bruckheimer cautioned that no one will be jumping right back into the waters.
"This is the end for now," he said. "I think everybody is exhausted and needs some time off. We’re all going to take a little break."
