Carey Mulligan Kissing Johnny Depp Cut From 'Public Enemies' For Nerves (VIDEO)

Carey Mulligan's last two years have seen her play opposite such handsome leading men as Ryan Gosling in "Drive," and Andrew Garfield in "Never Let Me Go," as well as showing serious skin in the upcoming "Shame." And, as an Oscar nominee, she's one of Hollywood's best young actresses. But for all the A-list kisses and critical accolades, even Mulligan was helpless in the face of this star's charm.

Appearing on the Graham Norton Show in Britain this week, the 26 year old actress revealed just how difficult it was to lock lips with Johnny Depp in 2009's "Public Enemies."

"I did kiss him several times, but it got cut from the film," she said. "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."

Awkward: Depp was in the building at the time, and soon sat down next to Mulligan. Blushing, much?

Mulligan also revealed trouble with another A-list leading man.

"I grew up watching everything he's ever done and it's difficult as I have to hide my inner fan when I am around him - it's terrible," she said of her turn alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Great Gatsby." "He claims not to be able to dance when we do a dancing scene and I have to hide the fact that I know he can because I saw him dance in Titanic."

Why did the American role to an English actress if she cannot act?

I wonder if Johnny Depp wasn't an actor how many women would be after him. I don't like judging men but, he is average at best. And that's at best.

Good gosh!!!! Gimme a break!!!! He is only human. Plus, I think she worded it a little wrong..."I was kissing Johnny Depp because I got so nervous."
I think it should have said " I got so nervous because I was kissing Johnny Depp."

What do you mean Ewww? When Johnny Depp dresses neatly and has his hair combed he is a pretty good looking guy. Ewww is kissing someone like Zach Galifinakis. That is a big EWWWW.

I can believe she was nervous and I can believe maybe it's a ploy to get you watch a movie. Either way, I don't care. I think it funny how people get so agitated by her saying "I was so nervou so I couldn't kiss him" their argument she an actor ,act ....blah blah blah. You do know the she is still a person and not immune to human emotion right. You maybe it's possible she was nervous, after all the scene was cut from the film. Also what would so advantageous about discussing a scene that isn't even in the film. My feeling is she was nervous and that is that. But who cares.

Hey, if you can't act in a kissing scene, then you hve no business being in showbusiness. Come to me and I'll teach you how to do it properly. I promise you won't be nervous.

There's an old theraputic term:ackowlege it and get past it==Academy Award material? In this day and age she'll probably get handed the gold statuette and everyone will go crazy over the dress she wore. Hollywood is not that deep, folks. Just sayin'===

Come on! This is just hype for the film. These actresses are used to kissing scenes. I am sure it was pleasant for Ms. Mulligan, after all, she is just "acting." Or is she?

Maybe in the wrong profession. You are not kissing, you are acting. If you can't manage it then.....
