The 68-year-old comedian, who plays the King of Lilliput in the movie, also revealed that his interpretation of the character was based on Prince Charles.
He told Cover Media: "It's terrific to be the king. I've been the king for a long time and it's a joy. You get the sparkliest uniform and you just swan around.
"I tried to be a kind of Prince Charles king. I think if he was the king he'd be a sort of jolly casual king and I sort of tried to be like him. I rather like him."
