Tom Cruise, known for his death-defying stunts in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise, is rumored to be taking his daring act to a whole new level at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony on August 11th. Sources suggest that Cruise will be involved in the Olympic handover to Los Angeles for the 2028 games, with whispers of a dramatic skydive into the Stade de France as the centerpiece of the event.
Rumors circulating indicate that Cruise may rappel down from the stadium after the skydive, followed by a quick flight to Los Angeles, culminating in an arrival at the iconic Hollywood sign. While the stunt was reportedly pre-taped in March, the details remain under wraps, and the International Olympic Committee has yet to officially confirm anything.
Cruise’s presence at the Paris Olympics has already been noted, with sightings at events like the women’s gymnastics qualifiers and swimming competitions. The actor is currently filming the eighth ‘Mission: Impossible’ installment across Europe, including a stint in England back in March. The film is scheduled for release in summer 2025.
This stunt would be a fitting addition to Cruise’s repertoire of daring feats, which have become synonymous with his career. From scaling the Burj Khalifa to hanging off the side of a flying plane, the actor has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in film. Now, it seems he’s ready to bring that same level of spectacle to the Olympic stage, further blurring the lines between Hollywood and the world of sport.
