The then 24-year-old English actress played a relatively minor part in the 2009 American crime drama about the life of notorious bank robber John Dilinger, and Carey‘s character had several kissing scenes with swashbuckling Johnny

How lucky can Carey get? Thousands upon thousands of women (and even some men) would start a stampede just to smooch Johhny Depp. Carey Mulligan got to do it 16 times!

“I had to kiss him several times,”

Carey remembers.

“It was sixteen times, but it was cut out of the film because I looked so uncomfortable.”

Despite having been nominated for an Oscar for her work in “An Education,” Carey could hardly pull it off convincingly during her lip lock scenes with Depp.

“I grew up watching everything he’s ever done and it’s difficult to hide my inner fan when I am around him,”

she gushes.

“It’s terrible.”

Hollywood celebrity websites don’t blame Carey Mulligan for getting all a-dither. How would we do if given a chance to suck face with Johnny Depp 16 times? Didn’t you even get to keep to those spliced out bits, Carey?
