Keira Knightley recently made a surprising revelation during an interview, sharing that she had once begged for a kissing scene with Johnny Depp while filming “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. Although Knightley’s character, Elizabeth Swann, did not originally have any kissing scenes with Depp’s character, Captain Jack Sparrow, Knightley felt that their on-screen chemistry warranted it.
During the interview, Knightley revealed that she had asked Depp for “just one kiss” and that he had eventually agreed, saying, “All right, all right, calm down.” The iconic scene shows Elizabeth kissing Jack while he is handcuffed to a ship’s mast and has become one of the most memorable moments in the film.
Knightley emphasized the importance of the scene, stating that it added depth to Elizabeth’s character and showed her rebellious and adventurous side. “I think it was important for Elizabeth to have that moment of vulnerability,” she said.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” was a massive success, spawning four sequels and grossing over $4.5 billion worldwide. Knightley appeared in three of the five films, while Depp appeared in all of them.
Fans of the franchise can look forward to Knightley and Depp reuniting on screen once again in the upcoming film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3,” set to release in 2022. It remains to be seen if the two actors will share any intimate moments in the film, but fans are excited to see them together again regardless.
In the meantime, viewers can revisit the classic kissing scene between Knightley and Depp in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” and appreciate the chemistry between the two talented actors
