Geoffrey Rush wants the Queen's reaction to The King's Speech put on the movie poster.

The Australian actor takes on the role of Lionel Logue in the movie, the man who helped King George VI get over his stammer.

Speaking to MSN Movies the actor said: "We have heard, reputedly from The Sun newspaper, that she saw The King's Speech and was moved.

"Colin [Firth] and I were just saying, 'Will that go on the poster? Dazzling - New York Times. Moved - Her Majesty," he laughed.

"We've been joking that the Queen is probably on [video rental site] Netflix and she's got a whole back up list of The Madness of King George and Alfred The Great and gets them out every couple of months," he laughed.

Rush has picked up a Best Supporting actor Oscar nomination for his performance while Colin Firth was nominated for Best Actor - there was also a Best Picture nod for the movie.

Rush will be back on the big screen later this year as he reprises his role as Captain Barbosa in The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
