For many, Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend's constant kissing was more than a little cringeworthy.

Fit for a Duchess? Aristocratic Keira grabs a few cringeworthy kisses with bohemian beau Rupert Friend

The actress was puckering up to plant several smackers on her long-term boyfriend in between takes for her new film The Duchess.

Dressed in 18th century garb, she is playing another aristocrat on the back of her period drama success Atonement.

This time she is Georgina, the Duchess of Devonshire, in a chronicle of the duchess' life starring opposite Ralph Fiennes.

Her boyfriend, however, though an actor himself, was only on hand for a smooching support role.

The two lovebirds were caught in several clinches throughout the day - she in bustle and hat - he in leather jacket with a tea towel around his neck and a cloth sack on his head.

Still, at least he brought out a few smiles on the face of the usually grumpy and publicity-shy actress.

And another... Keira steals Rupert away for another quick kiss before returning to filming

As filming progresses on her period film, hundreds of people have been queueing up in a Norfolk town for the chance to play an extra.

A casting session for extras was held at Fakenham Methodist Church but so many people attended the doors had to be closed after two hours on Saturday.

Ralph Fiennes plays Keira's husband in the film with veteran British actress Charlotte Rampling also among the cast.

Georgiana, an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales, was a socialite at the centre of a circle of leading political and literary figures.

But she was also notorious for her extravagant lifestyle and infamous for her marital arrangements - her best friend becoming the Duke's mistress.
