I will not make a guess at generalisations based on one person, especially when I didn’t hear him pronounce it.
That said, I understand there are differences in its pronunciation depending on whether you have an AmE accent or BrE accent, but that is no different to pronunciation of words such as ‘lieutenant’. It’s accepted that there are some words where the pronunciation varies between speakers of standard dialects – words for which there is no single most common pronunciation that is definitely preferable to others.
