August 11th 2024.
It was a night to remember at the 2024 Olympic closing ceremony, thanks to none other than Tom Cruise. The Hollywood superstar, known for his iconic role as Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible franchise, brought his A-game to the ceremony with a series of impressive stunts that left the audience in awe.
As the speeches came to an end and US R&B star H.E.R. took the stage to perform the American national anthem, Stars and Stripes, on her guitar, Cruise took center stage. He descended from the roof of the Stade de France in Paris, adding a touch of Hollywood glamour to the already spectacular event.
After being suspended 42 meters above the ground on the disc-shaped roof, Cruise made his way to the stage, greeted by a swarm of excited fans eager for a selfie. He then took the Olympic flag from the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, as part of the flag transfer to the city, which is set to host the Games in 2028.
But Cruise wasn't done yet. In true action hero fashion, he hopped on a motorbike and took the flag on a joyride out of the stadium, much to the delight of the cheering crowd. And let's not forget, he was also wearing his trademark leather jacket throughout the entire stunt.
The ceremony then cut to pre-recorded footage of Cruise making his way through the streets of Paris, passing iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, before boarding a plane and skydiving out of it. He then landed in America and trekked up to the famous Hollywood sign, now adorned with Olympic rings, where he passed the flag on to US cyclist Kate Courtney.
But the night wasn't all about adrenaline-fueled stunts. A series of A-list Californian natives took to the stage to offer a taste of what's to come in four years. The Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked the famous Venice Beach with their hit song "Can't Stop," before handing the stage over to the talented Billie Eilish.
Dressed in her signature oversized T-shirt, shorts, and baseball cap, Eilish delivered a soulful rendition of her new track "Birds of a Feather," accompanied by her brother FINNEAS on guitar. And to top it all off, Snoop Dogg made a surprise appearance, performing his classic hit "Drop It Like It's Hot" alongside fellow US rapper Dr Dre.
It was a night filled with excitement, thrills, and impressive performances, and Tom Cruise was at the center of it all.
