So for all of you from England, is Johnny Depp's accent pretty good? Is it convincing? I would like to think that I could fake a British accent as I'm sure several British people could fake an American one, but I was wondering about Johnny.
johnny's accent is spot on, you would never guess he was american!! 😄
Its a real gritty accent, too 🙂
I dont mean to offend anyone, but i HATE it when some american actors try to pull off an english accent and make it all posh and stuff..
around 15% of the overall population speak like the queen and thats it lol! 😄
So its nice to see a great actor doing a great accent for a change 😄

Sometimes I noticed in interviews while filming, he still is talking in his Jack voice, like he's keeping the accent up so he won't lose it. That's dedication right there.
certainly is!! 😄
i just find it amazing how he can take the accent off so well...
But then again, which accent is harder to pull off??
American or British???? 🙂
you know, that was one of the thing my british friends always liked the most about POTC--- they did all the accents right--- historically speaking, the mix of accents, depending on where each pirate or soldier would have been from, was perfect. which i fully agree with.
Keira's accent is my favorite, but I am CONTINUALLY amazed by Johnny's accent, as fast and as much as he talks, that he never slips, he puts it on like a costume, its pretty amazing.
That's also one of my rules in life: marry someone with a great accent. 😉
as far as the original topic, dude that happens to me quite often, but mostly because I am constantly bringing it up myself. i was on the phone with someone important at one point and accidentally quoted a line and then felt like i better cut back before quoting pirates gets me in trouble.
you know what...johnny did a great early american accent as Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow.....and a great British accent in POTC and DMC...and as a Latino in Dan Juan DeMarco....and you know what...Johnny's just great...he is great at everything he does....how about as the Libertine...and that weird Willy Wonka accent.....
what a fabulous and gorgeous actor....

I agree She is!!!! LUCKY HER!!!
And i agree that Johnny does sort of still talk in his Jack voice while doing interviews....I love how he can pull of the accent, slurr it, speack fast with intricate words all while acting!!!
AMAZING!!! I Just Love the GUY....sooooo HOTT!
OMG...the man is simply hot in Chocolat....i was at Kroger a few weeks ago and this beautiful little hard-backed book called "Hollywood's Greatest Couples"....and guess who was featured in the book of all-time most romantic on-screen loves....Johnny and his co-star in "Chocolat"...it was one of the only most current couples...the others were like Scarlett and Rhett from Gone With The Wind....Sandy and Danny from Grease....Hans and Lia from Star Wars...and many other old black and white couples from the 40's and 50's...
