Hollywood icon Tom Cruise captivated audiences at the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony with a breathtaking stunt that became the highlight of the evening. The 62-year-old actor, famous for performing his own stunts in films like Mission: Impossible, descended from the roof of the Stade de France on a wire, landing in the stadium to the delight of the crowd.
Cruise’s appearance was part of a spectacular handover ceremony to Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Olympics. After touching down, Cruise received the Olympic flag from American gymnastics legend Simone Biles, symbolizing the transition of the Games from Paris to Los Angeles.
In a pre-recorded sequence that followed, Cruise was seen riding a motorcycle through Los Angeles before skydiving over the iconic Hollywood sign, further cementing his reputation as one of Hollywood’s most daring performers.
The closing ceremony also featured a star-studded lineup of performances, including Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who performed live from a beach in Los Angeles. The ceremony ended with a speech from International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, who praised the athletes for their unity and outstanding performances during the Games.
Cruise’s thrilling stunt added an unforgettable moment to an already sensational Olympics, perfectly setting the stage for the next Games in Los Angeles in 2028.
