So, guess what? Tom Cruise is about to pull off the most epic stunt of his career at the 2024 Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony! That’s right—on August 11, as we bid adieu to these Games and prep our best French accents for the 2028 LA Olympics, Tom Cruise will be there to give the send-off of a lifetime.
Now, we don’t have all the details yet (because apparently, “surprise” is still a thing), but insiders are whispering that it’s going to be a Hollywood blockbuster-level extravaganza. And yes, that includes Tom Cruise doing what Tom Cruise does best: defying gravity and general sanity.
TMZ, our go-to for the latest “Wait, did they really just say that?” news, dropped the scoop that Tom will be rappelling from the tippy-top of the Stade de France. Imagine this: the guy who made running away from explosions look cool will now be descending with the Olympic flag like he’s auditioning for the role of “Most Dramatic Flag Bearer Ever.” TMZ even claims he filmed a pre-recorded bit where he’s seen leaping off the Hollywood sign. Because, naturally, that’s just how Tom rolls.
And if you’re thinking, “Wait, was that flag-handling thing for real?”—oh, it is. Tom’s also got some footage where he hands off the flag to Olympic athletes, proving once again that no event is too big for him to leap into (literally and figuratively).
Deadline also chimed in with similar news. Apparently, multiple sources have confirmed that Tom is involved. So, mark your calendars! Tom Cruise’s gravity-defying antics are about to make the Closing Ceremony a Hollywood-worthy spectacle. Buckle up, Paris!
