Tom Cruise planning big stunt for Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony: reports
nypost.comTom Cruise is reportedly planning a big stunt for the Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. According to Deadline, the “Top Gun: Maverick” star, 62, will literally “drop in” when the Olympic flag is handed over to the 2028 host city, Los Angeles.
Sources tell TMZ that Cruise will rappel down from the top of Stade de France, land on the stadium field, and then proceed to carry the official Olympic flag.
However, the aging action star may use a stunt double for the rappelling part. The outlet also reported that Cruise’s journey to Paris will be shown on TV as part of the Closing Ceremony.
