Why does Johnny Depp appear like he's from England?

So I watched the Peoples Choice Awards tonight, I am a little baffled about something. I saw an interview a few weeks back where Johnny Depp was talking about him and his children and hanging out with Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt and their kids on a playdate. He did what I’m about to ask the question for on the interview and the PCA. OK so why is he talking like he has an accent??? What is this is he living in a constant drama class and the world is his audience or is this an alter ego?? I mean if an actor is really good how can you tell what’s real and what’s fake anymore? My daughter asked me if Depp was from England and in all my 33 yrs and even when I crushed on this guy when I was younger I actually had to make sure he wasn’t! LOL
