Orlando Bloom has revealed Keira Knightley is a great kisser.

The hunky actor locks lips with the British screen beauty in new movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' and admits he was blown away by her smooching skills.

He said: "She's a great kisser and a lovely and very funny person. She's absolutely gorgeous."

Despite Orlando's gushing praise for Keira's kissing technique, he admits he did find it "peculiar" locking lips with the 'Pride and Prejudice' star

He told Britain's Top of the Pops magazine: "Kissing scenes are a bit peculiar. It's like you play at it."

Last week, Orlando was allegedly caught kissing and "dirty dancing" with 'Romeo and Juliet' actress Claire Danes.

Guests at the lavish Raisa Gorbachev Foundation party in Northamptonshire, England, looked on in astonishment as the pair got intimate.

One onlooker said: "He was kissing her neck and grinding against her. He didn't seem to care who saw it."

Both Bloom and Danes have long-term partners. The 'Lord Of The Rings' actor is dating 'Superman Returns' star Kate Bosworth, while Danes, 27, has been with her 'Stage Beauty' co-star Billy Crudup since 2004.
