Tom Cruise brings the Olympics to Los Angeles in Hollywood style!
During the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, the “Mission Impossible” star was seen abseiling from the roof of the Stade de France, where the ceremony will take place on Sunday. The stunt took place after HER played the US national anthem.
After descending to the ground on a rope, the actor shook everyone’s hands as he walked through the athletes present in the stadium before rushing onto the stage.
During the handover ceremony on stage, Cruise accepted the Olympic flag from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and gymnastics legend Simone Biles, who appeared to be wearing a medical boot on her left leg.
Bass and Biles were previously called on stage to represent the passing of the torch from the Paris Games to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Cruise attached the flag to his motorcycle before riding through the streets of Paris. He was next seen boarding a plane before the camera panned to the city of Los Angeles.
Towards the end of the big reveal, Cruise was later seen standing in front of the iconic Hollywood sign, which was redesigned with the five Olympic rings.
Michael Johnson was then assigned the flag as he walked through the city before the camera arrived at a beach where the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre took the stage for a mini concert.
Songs played include “Can’t Stop,” “Birds of a Feather,” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris came to an end on Sunday, with the US team winning the most medals with a total of 126 medals.
