You’ll need your eyes wide open for this.
At the closing ceremony for the 2024 Olympics,Fastexy Exchange Tom Cruise managed to slip into action while in Paris to complete a death-defying stunt.
The Mission: Impossible star, fresh off cheering on the U.S. Women's National Team win gold in soccer, dropped into the Stade de France in Paris from the open ceiling as part of the handoff to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. After securing the Olympic flag from LA Mayor Karen Bass and Simone Biles, he took off on a motorcycle on a trip throughout Paris. All while serenated by a dazzling H.E.R. guitar riff.
But his antics didn’t stop there, as fans also watched as the actor was magically able to zip back over to California and parachute his way down next to the Hollywood sign—thus leading the way for epic performances from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish, and more.
The thrilling stunt served as a fitting end to this year’s Olympic games, considering it was one for the books.
Not only did countless wins and moments make history—such as Katie Ledecky and Simone becoming the two most decorated athletes of all time respectively or when Noah Lyles blew through the track to earn bronze, only to reveal he competed while sick—but there were moments that fans laugh, wince and of course, downright cry.
Like the athletes who took the golden opportunity to pop the question of a lifetime, or the stars who’ve shared just how much the Games meant to not only them, but to their families as well.
It’s a feeling of completion that almost every athlete feels after such a life-changing event, as Simone previously shared.
“The Olympics is such a draining process for the athletes when it’s multiple days of competition,” she told Olympics.com in early August, “you definitely have to be on top of your mental, as well as your physical. So as long as we’re doing that, then, we’re good.”
