Johnny Depp’s Discomfort with Kissing Keira Knightley in Pirates Of The Caribbean

When it comes to iconic Hollywood characters, Jack Sparrow portrayed by Johnny Depp in Pirates Of The Caribbean stands out as a fan favorite.

His performance in the successful franchise was well-received, especially his chemistry with Keira Knightley, who played Elizabeth Swann.

The kiss scenes between Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley were a notable aspect of the film series.

Surprisingly, the seasoned actor admitted to feeling uneasy about kissing her on screen.

In an interview with Evening Standard, Depp shared, “Kissing someone you are not romantically involved with is always awkward, but the fact that Keira is 20-something years younger than me made it infinitely more awkward.

Still, she was a good sport about it, and we did what we had to do.”

During a conversation with TMZ, he further elaborated on the discomfort, stating, “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.”

Conversely, Keira Knightley expressed her ease with the kiss scenes with Depp.

She fondly recalled in the same interview, “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 and Orlando Bloom, and I get to kiss both of them.

It's wonderful!”

In an interview with InStyle, when comparing Depp and her other Pirates co-star Orlando Bloom as kissers, Knightley seemed to favor Depp, commenting, “Johnny Depp certainly wasn't bad.”

As discussions around the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise continue, two new movies are in development.

To avoid controversy surrounding Depp's personal life with Amber Heard, the decision has been made to exclude him from the cast.

One of the projects is a spin-off starring Margot Robbie, while the other is a continuation of the original storyline.

Fans of Depp have been actively campaigning for his return to the series, urging studios, particularly Warner Bros, to dismiss Heard and reinstate Depp as Jack Sparrow.

A petition on Change.org has garnered significant support, surpassing 400k votes by Jan 10, showcasing fans' strong desire for Depp's comeback in the beloved franchise.
