Depp & Knightley Kiss and Tell

In "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" Johnny and Keira's characters share a passionate kiss, but for one of them the experience was "unbelievably awkward."

Depp, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow, believes any film kiss is bound to be uncomfortable to shoot but this one more than most.

"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," he says, "but regardless of that it's always awkward so you kind of just make light of it; she was a good sport and we just kid of did what we had to do, that's the gig."

Of course Keira was a good sport, considering most 21 year-old women like her would love to be in the same situation.

"I couldn't ask for a better kissing scene with Johnny Depp actually, I think my 14 year-old self was yelping with pleasure," says Knightley of the experience. "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!"

And Knightley reveals that this lip-lock may not interfere with the relationship between Elizabeth Swann and Orlando's Will Turner, adding "it's not an ordinary kiss, it's a kiss with a twist, which is great."

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" opens in theaters July 7th.

5. Oh man..when I saw that I was so jealous. That was a hot kiss! I wanted to do it so bad but if kissing a 21 year old is awkward I think a 17 year old would be worse...oh well. Johnny so talented and to freaking sexy its unbelieable. Though those thick framed glasses need to go. They arent doing anything for him

6. Why *wouldn't* it interfere with the Elizabeth and Will's relationship?! Depp and Knightley have much too good a chemistry not to go further with that storyline!!

7. I think Johnny shows a lot of integrity to say that it was awkward considering he met Keira as a 17-year-old. Good for him!
But it was a smoking hot kiss! They both SEEMED to be enjoying it...
But I felt so baad for Will...He was trying to accept that "Lizzy" may love Jack even though truly he was near tears....i want to know if she did it ONLY to put him in hand-cuffs...i think she'd been itching to do it, whether she was just trying to trap him or not!!

10. It was a very deppressing part to see Bloom, (hottie) , to be shocked to see Knightley and Depp kiss.I was like,no, no, no.This cant be real.But she cuffed him.Proud yet depressed, yet proud.But I hope he understands in the 3rd one.


(sigh)

11. What a great kissing scene. Keira, you're a lucky girl. Johnny's a honey, and helooks like a GREAT kisser. Yikes!!!!!!

12. I think it's obvious to Elizabeth and to Will that her heart is with Jack Sparrow. I think these two (Elizabeth and Jack) will wind up together in the third installment. I couldn't believe she handcuffed him and left him to die (although we know that no way is he going to die and will obviously show up in 3, NO Jack Sparrow, not movie) after all the times he saved her, but hey, they need a cliffhanger and have to lead up to Part Three, which I can't wait to see. You can't appreciate Dead Man's Chest the first time you see it. I went to see it 3 times and I loved it by the 3rd time. I wish they had less Davey Jones in it and shaved about 20 minutes off the movie. The actors were a little hard to understand so I had to watch it a few times. My kids pointed out little clues in the movie. Johnny Depp has created one terrific character who everyone young and old LOVES. And he looks like a great kisser. Yowsers.

13. Heck yes Jack Sparrow....kissing scene...absolutely fabulous and sexy!!! I do really hope Elizabeth and Jack somehow wind up together next movie!! They both have great chemistry and are hot.. and yes he does look like a great kisser!

SCREW JOHNNY Elizabeth should be w/ WILL there perfect for each other they freakin met when they were like what 10! ITS DESTINY FOR GOD SAKE

15. Sry for Calli's rage! She is upset because she was rooting for Will Turner! I love Jack Sparrow and you could tell that Elizabeth wanted to kiss him when she talking to him about being a good man... that just makes you want to scream! I love it!!!!!!!! I wish I was in the third or fourth movie! I could be like Jack's daughter or something like that!!!! To bad the bloody Bahamas are to far away!!
