Tom Cruise brought Hollywood magic to the Paris Olympics closing ceremony, delivering a spectacular stunt performance that served as a thrilling preview of the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
The “Mission: Impossible” star, known for his daring stunts, took center stage in a dramatic entrance, rappelling from the roof of the Stade de France and mingling with athletes before reaching the stage. He then took the Olympic flag, attached it to a motorcycle, and drove out of the stadium through a cheering crowd.
In a pre-recorded segment, Cruise was seen riding through Paris on a motorcycle, seamlessly transitioning to a plane that seemed to defy time and space as it arrived in Los Angeles. The scene culminated with Cruise standing proudly beneath the Hollywood sign, where the Olympic rings replaced the double “o”s.
The stunt showcased Cruise’s passion for action and his willingness to push boundaries, much like his iconic character, Ethan Hunt, in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise.
The performance not only delivered a dose of Hollywood excitement to the closing ceremony, but also served as a highly effective advertisement for the upcoming 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
