Tom Cruise brought his signature Hollywood flair to the grand finale of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Sunday, creating an unforgettable moment that perfectly set the stage for Los Angeles to take the baton as the next host city for the Summer Games in 2028. In true action-star style, Tom executed a breathtaking stunt that had everyone on the edge of their seats. The 62-year-old Mission: Impossible star leaped from the top of the iconic Stade de France, gracefully landing on the stadium's field where the official Olympic flag was waiting for him.
In a spectacular handover, Tom accepted the flag from LA Mayor Karen Bass and gold-medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles. But the adventure didn’t stop there. Riding off on a sleek motorcycle, Tom zoomed through the picturesque streets of Paris, showcasing the city’s beauty as he made his way to a waiting plane near the Eiffel Tower.
In a dramatic twist, a pre-recorded video segment then showed the actor, renowned for performing his own stunts, flying the prized Olympic flag to Los Angeles. The video culminated in an awe-inspiring skydive, with Tom attaching the five iconic Olympic rings to the Hollywood sign, cleverly transforming the double Os into a symbol of global unity. Earlier this month, it was reported by TMZ that Tom had approached the International Olympic Committee with the idea of participating in the closing ceremony.
