Tom Cruise jumped from the roof of the stadium at the closing of the Olympics in Paris

The world-famous American actor Tom Cruise took part in the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, turning the ceremony into a spectacular show. Using special equipment, the star of the cult movie Mission Impossible jumped off the roof of the Stade de France stadium to begin the process of transferring the official flag of the international sports competition to Los Angeles.

The 62-year-old artist performed the impressive stunt to the music of hip-hop singer H.E.R., People writes. The white canvas with five colored rings was handed over to the celebrity by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and gymnast Simone Biles.

After a spectacular leap from the roof of the French national stadium, Tom Cruise securely attached the Olympic flag to the back of his motorcycle, which he rode past the Eiffel Tower to get to his plane. In his role as a spy, the actor spoke into a radio: "I'm on my way," and then put on a special outfit for a parachute jump.

Having successfully landed on the territory of Los Angeles, which will host the next sporting events in 2028, the celebrity headed to the city's most famous sign, "Hollywood," to turn the letters "o" into symbolic Olympic rings.

Cyclist Kate Courtney, track and field athlete Michael Johnson, and skateboarder Jagger Eaton took over the flag relay. They delivered the symbol of traditional sporting events to the concert of the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers on the Venice Beach boardwalk, where singer Billie Eilish and rapper Snoop Dogg also performed.

Tom Cruise decided to take part in the closing ceremony of the Games because he has been a fan of the event for a long time. Back in 2004, the star had the honor of carrying the Olympic torch at Dodger Stadium. The actor has repeatedly appeared at this year's competitions to support his country's athletes.
