The Paris Olympics recently opened with Hollywood superstar “Tom Cruise” (Tom Cruise) in attendance, but he was drenched by the rain and became a spectacle himself; for the closing ceremony, there are rumors that France is planning something even bigger, with whispers that Tom Cruise will perform a “Mission Impossible.”
According to “TMZ,” the Olympic closing ceremony is scheduled for August 11, and Tom Cruise is preparing an epic stunt performance for the Paris Olympics closing. Sources reveal that the plan is for him to descend from the top of the Stade de France during the closing ceremony, land in the stadium, and raise the Olympic flag. This will be followed by a short film shot in March, which features him carrying the Olympic flag flying from France to Los Angeles, and parachuting down at the famous Hollywood sign landmark.
Tom Cruise was photographed on the Hollywood sign in March, but there were no images of him in the air, so no one noticed the connection to the Olympics. The report indicates that all the action shots filmed in Los Angeles were performed by Tom Cruise himself. However, the situation is still complex, and Tom Cruise’s parachuting scene at the closing ceremony may also be performed by a stunt double.
In the past, Olympic opening and closing ceremonies have featured “leader parachuting” scenes. For example, at the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony, Queen Elizabeth II of the UK teamed up with “007” Daniel Craig for a parachuting scene, and then appeared in person. At the 2016 Rio Olympics closing ceremony, as the next host country, Japan broadcast a video where Prime Minister Shinzo Abe transformed into Super Mario, traveling through a large pipe from Japan to Rio.
