Is the GEICO gecko British?
I love listening to the GEICO gecko talk, but I can’t quite nail down his accent. Is he British or Australian?

The
GEICO
gecko is British! The gecko—whose name is Martin—has been voiced by a number of actors over the years, but his current voice actor is Jake Wood, an English actor known for his spot on the iconic British soap opera, EastEnders. The show is set in London’s East End, home of the Cockney accent—which is the accent used by our favorite famous gecko. Big-name insurance providers like GEICO are great for funny commercials with cute mascots, but that doesn’t mean they can offer you the best
