Trivia

• Filming Locations: Prague, Czech Republic & Goldings, Herefordshire, UK

• Sophia earned the nickname Miss Prague during filming: 'It happened because one weekend I had to fly to Prague for a snogging scene with Johnny Depp. I'd been cast as his wife in the film From Hell. And though it was a very small part it was incredibly exciting!'

Quotes from Sophia

It was incredible. I tried to be cool and pretend it wasn't a big deal, but I have to admit it was brilliant. I was being paid to go to bed with Johnny Depp and, yes, he was a great kisser. I always thought he was great actor and a very sexy man and it's true, he's both. The kissing scene took seven or eight takes, but I wasn't complaining. The strangest thing was that a few weeks ago I went to see Chocolat and there was Johnny up on the huge screen. I was thinking to myself, 'I've done a love scene with that man'!

He was such a gentleman. He showed me photos of his wife and baby girl. He is obviously madly in love with them both.

I've had an amazing time, just like Hugh Grant says in Notting Hill - 'it was surreal, but nice'

Every part of the experience was very, very pleasant. I think God spent a little extra time on him [Johnny Depp]
