At the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade de France on August 11, 2024, Tom Cruise held the Olympic flag. Following an electrifying ensemble performance of the legendary Golden Voyager, Tom made a dramatic entrance atop the Stade de France by jumping off the edge into the stadium, reminiscent of his famous action movie stunts. Athletes surrounded him, offering high-fives and taking selfies as he rushed towards the stage and then rode off on his motorcycle, with Olympians clearing a path for him. Throughout the past few weeks, Tom had been seen cheering on Team USA in the stands, showing his support for the athletes.

This closing ceremony stunt was not his first, as he is known for performing almost all of his own stunts in movies like *Mission Impossible* and *Top Gun*. During the filming of *Mission Impossible 7 — Dead Reckoning Part One*, he accomplished one of the most dangerous feats ever seen by riding a motorcycle off a cliff and parachuting down to safety, requiring extensive skydiving training and numerous motorcycle jumps.
