Pirates wow London

13:30 04 July 2006

Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley wowed thousands of fans at the London premiere of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' last night (03.07.06).

The screaming crowd - who endured temperatures of 30C to catch a glimpse of their heroes - were rewarded when the stars spent almost an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures.

Keira - who wore a striking floor-length gold Gucci gown with a plunging neckline to the event - stunned onlookers with her super-slim figure, sparking fears about her weight.

But the 21-year-old actress told BANG Showbiz there was no cause, whatsoever, for concern, saying: "Whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong.

"Hollywood is all about the way you look and I don't think that's a healthy thing for anyone. But if you're strong and comfortable with yourself then you're going to be fine."

Meanwhile, Bill Nighy - who plays half-squid, half-crab villain Davy Jones - admitted he was baffled when he was approached for the role.

He explained: "I don't know why, when they were looking for a half-squid, half-crab man my name came to mind.

"I'm going to choose to take it as a compliment otherwise I would have to kill myself."
