Daniel Radcliffe has reacted to fans who said they wish the Queen could have lived to see his new movie Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, in which her picture features briefly. 

The Harry Potter actor, 33, who plays the satirical musician in the biopic, premiered the movie at the Toronto Film Festival on Thursday the same day as the beloved monarch's passing. 

According to EW when told about the audience's hopes a shocked Daniel asked: 'Sorry, sorry that was not genuine reaction was it?'.

The shot appears towards the end of the film with images of Daniel's character next to many famous faces, including Her Majesty The Queen.

During the screening the audience cheered to see monarch's image, with Evan Rachel Wood, 35, who plays Madonna in the film saying: 'She [the Queen] would have liked it'. 

Before adding: 'I can say this stuff because I'm not British.' 

The movie sees the British actor transform into a hard-partying version of five-time Grammy winner 'Weird Al' Yankovic, a singer and accordion player who made a career crafting parodies of hit songs.

The official synopsis reads:  'Weird tells the "true" story of Alfred Matthew Yankovic, better known as "Weird Al" Yankovic, his beginning interest in the accordion, his discovery by Dr. Demento, his support from Madonna, and his overall claim to fame'.

'A parody of the biopic genre, the film intentionally exaggerates and downright fabricates moments in Yankovic's life for comical effect'.
