Tom Cruise reportedly will rappel from the Stade de France roof as Paris passes the torch to L.A. at the Olympic closing ceremony on Aug. 11.
Tom Cruise will take a page out of his “Mission: Impossible” playbook for the Olympic closing ceremony. The 62-year-old actor is reportedly planning an epic stunt that will unfold as Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo hands over the Olympic flag to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass at the Aug. 11 celebration, TMZ first reported. And he pitched the idea to the International Olympic Committee himself.
The Paris 2024 Organizing Committee has declined to discuss ceremony details. With Paris 2024’s artistic director Thomas Jolly at the helm, the closing ceremony — dubbed “Records” — is poised to rival the drama of a Cruise film. The Stade de France will be “transformed into a gigantic concert hall,” the official Olympic website reads, where more than 100 performers, acrobats, dancers and circus artists will “take spectators on a journey through time, both past and future.
