Not long ago, news broke stating that Professor Stephen Hawking will be going to space. Now, a hilarious spoof video surfaces online showing a slew of A-listers desperately trying to convince the great theoretical physicist’s to replace his signature computerized voice with theirs. Celebrities such as Lin-Manuel Miranda, Liam Neeson, Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Eddie Redmayne are just a few of the auditionees. “Stephen, it’s me – surely it has to be me,” Neeson professed. “Listen to my voice. It’s deep; it’s sexy; it’s got a tinge of…physics.”
