Hayek — who is tied to France through her husband François-Henri Pinault, the boss of luxury group Kering and CAA owner Artemis — is currently carrying the torch from the Yvelines suburb to the Versailles Palace, alongside Didier Deschamps, the trainer of the France soccer national team, and singer Patrick Bruel.

Dogg, meanwhile, will be carrying it on Friday, the day of the opening ceremony, in Saint-Denis, where the Olympics Village housing athletes is based. As previously reported, Dogg will also also be a special correspondent for NBC during the Games. He will carry the torch alongside French model-turned-actor Laetitia Casta and rapper MC Solaar.

Hayek and Dogg are part of a roster of big names participating in Olympics festivities. Lady Gaga and Celine Dion are also in town in Paris and are poised to perform at the event.

For the first time in history, the opening ceremony is set to take place outside of a stadium and will be held along the Seine River that runs through the city. The nautical show will follow 85 boats carrying athletes from each Olympic delegation on a four-mile parade. Kicking off from the Pont d’Austerlitz and culminating at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the ceremony will showcase the city’s historical landmarks and bring together 3,500 actors, dancers and musical performers. The show has been designed by theater director Thomas Jolly, best known for hit rock-opera musical “Starmania.”
