Judd Apatow served as emcee for the DGA Awards on Saturday night, and he kicked off his show-opening monologue by taking a few shots at Tom Cruise. “The special effects in ‘Maverick’ were so top notch, I couldn’t even see the stack of phone books Tom Cruise sat on to reach the flight controls,” quipped Apatow of Cruise’s height, as reported by Variety. “Remember when Tom Cruise jumped up and down on the couch and we all thought, ‘What a lunatic!’” Apatow continued, referencing Cruise’s much-mocked 2005 appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.

Someone needs to explain to him something called CGI. You’re 60. Calm down,” Apatow said. “But every time he does one of these new stunts, it does feel like an ad for Scientology.

I mean, is that in Dianetics? Because there’s nothing about jumping off a cliff in the Torah.” Apatow also joked about Cruise’s family life and his Scientology-driven stance against psychiatry and psychiatric medication. “The only thing he seems to be afraid of is co-parenting and antidepressants,” joked Apatow. “I doubled my Prozac today just for this.

I doubled it! Do you think if Tom Cruise took antidepressants, he’d be like, ‘I’m not jumping off of a f**king cliff. I’m rich!’” READ MORE: Judd Apatow Warned Jason Segel Never To Show His Dracula Musical To Anybody Cruise wasn’t the only target of Apatow’s comedy barbs, and he also had a few things to say about “Elvis”. “Both ‘Avatar’ and “Elvis’ have gotten a lot of praise this award season.
