According to rumors, Hollywood action hero Tom Cruise has been enlisted by the Paris Olympics 2024 organizers to perform a dangerous stunt as the final event of the games. The actor will be a featured guest at the closing ceremony on August 11, despite his busy schedule filming “Mission: Impossible 8” in Europe.
Notably, Tom Cruise attended the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, which included Celine Dion’s comeback. The Hollywood action actor is famous for doing his own daring stunts—he rode a motorbike off a cliff in the most recent Mission Impossible film.
Tom Cruise, 62, is reportedly planning to do something risky during the Paris Closing Ceremony. The actor is expected to descend from the Stade de France’s roof and land on the field below.
Interest in Cruise’s potential stunt was piqued when he was seen filming a scene on a motorbike bearing a large flag, reported in May by the French site Sortir à Paris. The actor left the Arc de Triomphe and drove along the Champs-Élysées Avenue after being seen with the flag.
Last week, Cruise was admitted as a Knight of France’s renowned Legion of Honor.
Reportedly, he will be presenting the 2028 Olympic flag to Los Angeles by rappelling down to the Paris stadium field while holding the Olympic flag. Allegedly, Cruise will float the flag from France to California in what appears to be an upcoming video.
There is speculation that the actor may use a stunt double to assist with the landing on the field in France. However, the specifics of this arrangement are still “up in the air.”
Several famous people, including Lady Gaga and Celine Dion, participated in the opening ceremony that took place beside the Seine River.
Zac Efron, Ariana Grande, Zendaya, Cynthia Erivo, and Snoop Dogg were among the other celebrities who appeared at events in and around the French capital.
