    Tom Cruise is battling Snoop Dogg for Team USA's number-one fan .

    The Mission Impossible star was spotted at the women's soccer final on Saturday, cheering on the US team as they battled the Brazilian team. America went on to win the game 1-0, winning gold in the event for the first time since 2012.

    Tom wore a white collared short-sleeved polo shirt that showed off his muscular arms as he raised them in excitement as he cheered on his home country. He also donned grey trousers and accessorized with dark sunglasses and a watch on his left wrist.

    His hair was slightly mussed from the wind and the excitement. Tom jumped to his feet or sat pensively during the tense game.

    At one point he leaned forward, gripping the bar in front of him to get a better look and applauded when Team USA scored a goal. Tom was all smiles as he waved to fans, signed autographs, and posed for selfies.

    The Top Gun star is set to appear at the closing ceremony for the games on Sunday. He'll help pass the Olympic torch from Paris to Los Angeles, where the games will be held in 2028.

    He's reported to perform a stunt where he will rappel down from the top of the Stade de France, about 115 feet, while holding the Olympic flag. The televised event will then cut to a pre-recorded segment that shows Tom leaping out of an airplane and skydiving before he lands on the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, California.

    Back in March, photos emerged of the star climbing the Hollywood sign, leading people to believe that was for this stunt. Tom will pass the Olympic flag to various Olympians, including a cyclist, skateboarder, and volleyball star, as they travel through Los Angeles as a way of turning the games over.

    According to TMZ , Tom is the one who approached the International Olympic Committee (IOC) about doing a series of stunts for the closing ceremony.
