The DGAs will not be televised, however Selection ran a few of Apatow’s jokes, which began off by going after Cruise’s peak. The director/comic stated:
The particular results in ‘Maverick’ had been so prime notch, I couldn’t even see the stack of telephone books Tom Cruise sat on to succeed in the flight controls.
Tom Cruise usually will get mentioned for being shorter than his co-stars. Although, the soiled secret about a few of your favourite film stars is that an important a lot of them are quick. Or, shorter than you may count on. Apatow didn’t cease there, nonetheless, taking purpose at Cruise’s perception in Scientology, and linking that to the harrowing stunts that the 60-year-old actor pulls off on his personal. Properly, with the assistance of an unlimited help system. Apatow joked:
