Johnny Depp wasn’t very comfortable about the age gap of 22 years with Keira Knightley. He told Evening Standard in an interview, “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.”
There were also strong romance rumors between Keira and Johnny. But Depp was in a serious relationship with Vanessa Paradis. So, those were ultimately nothing but fake reports.
