"Russell Brand has joked that he deserves a knighthood from The Queen. The Arthur actor said that the nation would start to get angry if he isn&amp;#039;t recognised for his work soon.  &amp;quot;They can&amp;#039;t ignore me for much longer. I should have a knighthood,&amp;quot; he is quoted as saying in The Sun. &amp;quot;Otherwise the people will revolt.&amp;quot; The comedian will next be seen in comedy musical Rock of Ages opposite the likes of Tom Cruise and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The film sees him kiss co-star Alec Baldwin, which he said was one of his best ever days.  &amp;quot;That was one of the great days of my life. In my imagination, that kiss continues to this moment.&amp;quot; Russell Brand will share a stage with the Dalai Lama during an event in Manchester later this week. Rock of Ages opens in UK cinemas on June 13 and the US on June 15. Watch the trailer for Rock of Ages below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
