Tom Cruise Wows with Epic Stunt at Olympics Closing Ceremony in Paris

Legendary Actor and Stuntman Takes Centre Stage

In an unexpected turn of events at the Olympics closing ceremony in Paris on August 11, Tom Cruise, the Hollywood legend known as much for his daredevil stunts as his acting, brought an added touch of drama and spectacle to the event. As had been rumoured earlier in the week, Cruise did indeed perform what can only be described as an ‘epic stunt’ as part of the ceremony.

Thrilling Act at Stade de France

Starting at Paris’ iconic Stade de France, Cruise first reprised his action hero persona by rappelling into the stadium, prompting an outburst of excitement among the crowd. This was just the beginning of his grand performance.

A Grand Closure in True Hollywood Style

Following his thrilling entrance, a pre-recorded video was then played showing Cruise skydiving onto the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. The flamboyant display had a dual purpose: it was not only an exciting treat for the audience, but it was also a nod to the fact that Los Angeles will host the 2028 Olympics. This fulfilled the tradition of representatives from the future host city being involved in the conclusion of the current Olympics.

The Olympic Flag Handover

What followed was a poignant moment involving celebrated Gymnast Simone Biles who made a surprise appearance at the closing ceremony. In a symbolic gesture, the Olympic flag was passed from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The flag was then given to Tom Cruise.

A Spectacular Sequence

Continuing the League of Extraordinary performances, Cruise was seen roaring away into the Los Angeles sunset on a motorcycle in a pre-filmed sequence. The grand finale to this segment was Cruise, an avid pint-sized action man, skydiving above Los Angeles.

Social Media Reactions

The internet was sent into a frenzy with reactions pouring in from all nooks and corners. Celebrities, fellow Olympians, and fans opined heavily on Cruise’s stunning performance. Notably, this isn’t Cruise’s first involvement with the Olympics. He participated in the torch relay in Los Angeles during the leadup to the Athens Games in 2004.

Looking to LA 2028

In true Hollywood style, Tom Cruise has left an indelible mark on this edition of the Olympics, ensuring a smooth transition to the City of Angels. Looking ahead, the world eagerly waits for what the Los Angeles Olympics of 2028 will unfold.
