Stephen Hawking Spoof Auditions Celebrities For His New Voice

Stephen Hawking is on the hunt for a new voice.

Well, not really. But that’s the premise of a hilarious spoof clip that aired Friday in the United Kingdom as part of charity Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day .

Having used the same computerized tone for three decades, the famous British physicist decides he’s ready to switch it up — and auditions celebrities for the “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Actors including Stephen Fry , Liam Neeson , Anna Kendrick , Rebel Wilson and Lin-Manuel Miranda do battle over the role. Foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay puts in a curse-filled appearance. Even Eddie Redmayne , who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Hawking in the 2014 movie “The Theory Of Everything ,” has a go.

But ultimately, there’s only one winner — as Hawking opts for one of Hollywood’s most recognizable voices.

Check out the full clip above.
