Tom Cruise to Perform Stunt at Paris Olympics Closing, Handing Off to 2028 L.A. Games

The alleged plan involves the three-time Golden Globe winner starting by swinging from the top of Stade de France and landing on the stadium’s field, carrying the official Olympic flag the entire time, TMZ reported.

The Olympic broadcast will then cut to a two-minute pre-recorded segment featuring Cruise traveling to his next stop by airplane, bringing the Olympic flag from France to L.A.

Next, he will leap out of the airplane and land on the Hollywood sign.

TMZ shared photos of the Top Gun: Maverick star filming the Hollywood stunt, dated March 16, 2024.

The Hollywood Reporter also noted that another planned stunt in L.A. was pulled because the LAPD was hesitant to shut down the Pacific Coast Highway, and obtaining a permit from the California Coastal Commission was also a challenge.
