The Paris Olympics will conclude on August 11, and there is speculation that Hollywood star Tom Cruise will be a part of the closing ceremony. Known for his roles in the Mission Impossible series, Top Gun, and Edge of Tomorrow, Cruise is rumored to perform a major stunt during the event.

During the ceremony, the Olympic flag will be handed over from Paris 2024 to the next host city, Los Angeles, for the 2028 Games. Reports from TMZ and Deadline suggest that Cruise will execute a stunt inspired by his Mission Impossible films, potentially carrying the Olympic flag from the top of the Stade de France Stadium to hand it over to the next host country.

The plan, kept mostly under wraps, indicates that the flag will be transferred from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo to LA Mayor Karen Bass. Cruise’s reputation for daredevil stunts is a key reason for this exciting arrangement. According to TMZ, this stunt has already been filmed in secrecy.

The 2028 Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles from July 14 to 30. LA previously hosted the Games in 1932 and 1984. Jimmy Fallon and Mike Tirico are slated to host the event on American television.

India’s performance in the ongoing Paris Olympics has been commendable, with shooters striving for medals and the country having secured three bronze medals so far.
