Okay as an Englishman (yeah that makes me British too), I have to laugh a little at some of these crazy guesses that the guy's voice is australian, Luton (which is a Totally different accent!), Maiden Head, and all these other silly guesses. There's many different accents in the UK...I'd say 20 to 50 distinct regional accents. Each accent 'blurs' with others in the surrounding areas, as well as with societies within the area. For example There's usually the 'posh' (clearer spoken) version of an accent, the towny version (very colloquial, full of word fusions, missed syllabals etc), and everything inbetween.

In short though: His Accent IS Cockney! To me it's like someone trying to argue if a guy is speaking English or Dutch, so I really hope you all will quit arguing over it because there's simply no discussion in that!

As to Who this guy is, that's harder to say. The trouble is that a lot of the guesses people have made are guys with cockney accents, and any accent other than your own is harder to distinguish. I personally think that if the guy were particularly famous, it'd be common knowledge who he is.

Oh and the guy who thought it was Eddie Izzard is INSANE! May as well be Whitney Houston!
