In an exhilarating display of Hollywood bravado, renowned actor Tom Cruise is set to stun audiences with a daring stunt during the Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. According to sources, the iconic star of "Top Gun: Maverick" will make a thrilling entrance by rappelling down from the top of the Stade de France, landing on the stadium field, and then proceeding to carry the official Olympic flag during the handover to the 2028 host city, Los Angeles.

While there is speculation that Cruise may enlist the help of a stunt double for the rappelling portion of the act due to his advancing age, his enthusiasm for pushing boundaries is unmistakable. The televised event will certainly captivate viewers worldwide, as the actor's journey from Paris to Los Angeles will be shown as part of the Closing Ceremony.

Notably, the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics was already a grand spectacle, featuring the likes of Steven Spielberg, Lady Gaga, and stunning visuals such as teams arriving on boats along the famous Seine River. The Closing Ceremony promises to deliver another major Hollywood production, with sources teasing a showstopper that will leave spectators in awe.

Details surrounding the highly anticipated Closing Ceremony are being kept under wraps, but it is known that the Olympic flag will be exchanged between Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. This symbolic gesture will mark the shift of hosting responsibilities from the 2024 Paris Olympics to the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

In addition to his thrilling rappelling stunt, Cruise will also be showcased in a pre-recorded segment, originally filmed in March, where he skydives to the iconic Hollywood sign. This extraordinary display of athleticism and showmanship only adds to the excitement surrounding the Closing Ceremony.

The 2024 Paris Olympics have been a resounding success, with Tom Cruise himself showing his support for the athletes by cheering on gymnastics superstar Simone Biles during her successful medal-winning performances. As the Paris Olympics draw to a close, the world eagerly awaits the spectacular conclusion that Cruise promises to deliver during the Closing Ceremony.

The grand finale of the Paris Olympics will take place on August 11 at 7 p.m., and will be aired on NBC, where esteemed hosts Mike Tirico and Jimmy Fallon will be joined by NBC Sports' Terry Gannon, as well as former Team USA Olympians Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski. The 2028 Summer Olympics, set to be held in Los Angeles, will take place from July 14 to 30.

The Post has reached out to representatives for Tom Cruise, as well as NBC and Peacock, for further comments and details regarding this jaw-dropping spectacle.
