An interview Johnny Depp gave to Ellen DeGeneres‘ show in 2017 has been making headlines on social media in recent weeks. When asked by the host about the best kiss of his career, the actor surprised everyone by revealing that it was with another man.

Deep was emphatic and direct in saying that his best kiss was with Spanish actor Javier Bardem, more than two decades ago. The scene took place in the film “Before Night Falls,” directed by Julian Schnabel, and received praise for its portrayal of Arenas’s journey, from his youth in Cuba to his exile in the United States. The film, which also starred Sean Penn and Michael Wincott, was released in 2000. It tells the true story of Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas, who suffered political persecution and homophobia during Fidel Castro‘s regime.

In the story, Depp plays two characters, including Bon Bon, a transvestite with whom the protagonist, played by Javier Bardem, shares a kiss. The film marked an important phase in the careers of both actors. Bardem’s portrayal of Reinaldo Arenas earned him his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
