Tom Cruise to Perform Unprecedented Stunt at Olympic Paris 2024’s Closing Ceremony

On August 2, TMZ, an American entertainment media outlet, announced that Tom Cruise will be performing a major stunt at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics on August 11 (local time).

The report states that Cruise will be present for the handover of the Olympic flag to Los Angeles, the upcoming host city for the 2028 Olympics. He will descend from above the Stade de France using a rappel, touch down on the field, and present the Olympic flag.

The live TV broadcast will then transition to a pre-recorded video featuring Cruise flying from France to Los Angeles with the Olympic flag, followed by his skydiving onto the Hollywood sign.

Nevertheless, the specific execution method for the stunt at the Stade de France stadium remains undecided due to its complexity. It is noteworthy that Tom Cruise personally proposed the idea of delivering the Olympic flag via a stunt to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Throughout this Olympics, Cruise has been spotted in attendance at various swimming and gymnastics events.

Despite his busy acting career, Tom Cruise has made time to participate in Olympic activities. In 2004, he had the honor of being a torch bearer in Los Angeles before the start of the Athens Olympics.
