Paris Olympics 2024 closing ceremony has given the world ample memorable moments to remember including Tom Cruise’s gravity-defying stunt. The Mission: Impossible superstar marked the end of the global sports event on Sunday, thereby setting the countdown for the 2028 Games, scheduled to take place in Los Angeles. He jumped down the Stade de France to retrieve the Olympic flag from Star gymnast Simon Biles.
The stunt then continued in a prerecorded segment where the 62-year-old drove a motorcycle on the streets of Paris before reaching an airplane. His ouster from the airborne vehicle ended on a grand scale as Cruise skydived before performing his signature run through the hills of LA to scale the Hollywood sign. #TomCruise #Olympic2024 #Paris pic.
