Actress Keira Knightley has kissed many of Hollywood’s leading heart throbs in her  young acting career including actors Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. However, she claims her current co-star James McAvoy, in Atonement, is the best kisser she has ever had on screen.

“James [McAvoy] is the best kisser ever!” a giggling Knightley, 22, said of her Atonement costar while sitting in romantic Venice.

Despite kissing Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, Knightley – who is currently dating actor Rupert Friend – glanced at McAvoy and diplomatically dubbed him the best on the opening day of the Venice Film Festival.

Perhaps McAvoy is Knightley’s best on-screen kiss ever but I would bet more money that it is purely propaganda for their current movie.   Not exactly good press for the movie if she says, “Well James was pretty good, but damn that Johnny Depp about sunk my pirate ship”.
