He said,
“visual 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. That’s why he’s always jumping out of tall buildings because you can’t tell how short he is from a 100-story building. That’s why when he’s standing on a wing of an airplane he’s always alone, he doesn’t want anyone there next to him for scale.”
ButThe Forty-Year-Old Virgindirector wasn’t done with the actor, as he began to spew more shots at Tom Cruise, especially on his obsession with stunts and his beliefs in Scientology.
