Tom Cruise planning big stunt for Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony: reports

It’s a mission impossible.

Tom 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.

The “Mission: Impossible” star will reportedly be shown flying with the Olympic flag from France to Los Angeles, where he will then be skydiving to the Hollywood sign in a pre-recorded segment initially taped in March.

Cruise is already in Paris at the Olympic and was spotted in the crowd cheering on Simone Biles as the gymnast won another gold.

Details of the Closing Ceremony are currently under wraps, but it’s known that LA Mayor Karen Bass will receive the Olympic flag from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

“Expect a major Hollywood production,” a source teased to Deadline.

The Opening Ceremony was already a major spectacle , involving Steven Spielberg, Lady Gaga , the teams arriving on boats in the famous Seine, drag queens, the torch holder doing parkour, dancers dressed up like Marie Antoinette carrying her head, a resilient Celine Dion performing despite suffering from a rare neurological disorder and French metal band Gojira becoming the first metal band to play at the Olympics.

It also featured a tableau that was an apparent parody of the Last Supper, sparking backlash from figures such as comedian and actor Rob Schneider, who has previously dressed in drag and pretended to be a human animal in his movies “The Hot Chick” and “The Animal.”

“I am sorry to say to ALL the world’s GREATEST ATHLETES, I wish you ALL THE BEST, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan,” Schneider wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.

The Closing Ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics will take place on Aug. 11 at 7 p.m.

Mike Tirico and Jimmy Fallon will co-host the Closing Ceremony on NBC, alongside NBC Sports’ Terry Gannon and former Team USA Olympians Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski.

The 2028 Summer Olympics will be in Los Angeles July 14 – 30.
