Tom Cruise Rumored to Be a Big Part of Olympics Closing Ceremonies in Hollywood-Style Stunt
The Opening Ceremonies for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France made a big splash with many performances and artistic displays that both impressed the masses and made people talk, and if the rumors are true, the Closing Ceremonies will be just as momentous.
According to a report from TMZ, actor Tom Cruise is going to pull of a spectacular stunt in the handing off of the flag from Paris to Los Angeles, who will host the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. The report states:
Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... the plan for the upcoming Closing Ceremony involves Tom rappelling down from the top of Stade de France ... landing on the stadium field and carrying the official Olympic flag.
The TV broadcast will then cut to a previously recorded film ... and the first 2 minutes shows Tom's journey on an airplane ... flying with the Olympic flag from France to Los Angeles, where he skydives down to the Hollywood sign.
The Hollywood sign stunt was actually filmed on a Saturday morning back in March, and our sources figured someone would spot Tom in the air, connect the dots and the story would leak ... but his descent went completely unnoticed.
We're told the film will then show Tom passing the flag to other Olympians -- including a cyclist, skateboarder and volleyball player -- as they make their way around the next host city for the Summer Games.
This sounds so over-the-top, in the style of all Tom Cruise stunts! It will be a blast to watch. Tune in on August 11th to watch it all go down.
