Despite being a rising star, Carey Mulligan was still relatively new to the industry when she joined the cast of 'Public Enemies'. The opportunity to share screen time with Johnny Depp, a revered actor, was both exciting and daunting for her. In fact, Carey Mulligan admitted to having a celebrity crush on Johnny Depp, which added an extra layer of complexity to their on-screen collaboration.
During Graham Norton Show in 2017, Carey Mulligan admitted, "I did kiss him several times, but it got cut from the film. I think it was 16. Because I was so uncomfortable... it got cut because I looked so uncomfortable. I was kissing Johnny Depp because I got so nervous."
'I regret not kissing Johnny Depp for longer!'
Interestingly, Carey Mulligan is not the only actress who experienced jitters while sharing an on-screen kiss with Johnny Depp. Eva Mendes, his co-star in 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico', once expressed regret for not prolonging their kiss, confessing, "All of my screen kisses were the best, though I regret not kissing Johnny Depp for longer. I was so intimidated by him. It was the first time I had worked with an actor who I had crushed on as a little girl," revealed Koimoi.

The Irish Examiner reported that she described Johnny Depp as a "very, very nice guy" and admitted feeling nervous but appreciative of his protective nature during their scenes together. She even went on to praise his kissing skills, stating, "If you really want to know, he is a very, very good kisser."
