Tom Cruise performs 'epic stunt' at Olympics closing ceremony


The Paris Games came to a glorious end Sunday.


The Olympics closing ceremonies have always served as a nice sendoff for one of the world's biggest sporting events. However, this year's formalities had something extra special on display as well: Tom Cruise.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the legendary actor and stuntman would be performing an "epic stunt" as part of the closing ceremonies.


The 62-year-old rappelled down from the roof of the Stade de France to the Mission Impossible theme,greeting Olympians after landing safely.

We then witnessed a surprise appearance from Simone Biles at the closing ceremony, playing a part in the passing of the Olympic flag from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.


The two gave the Olympic flag to Cruise who rode a motorcycle in a pre-filmed sequence that ended with the actor soaring above Los Angeles in a skydiving stunt.


There were also performances from native Californians Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre via video link to Long Beach in Los Angeles, while five-time Grammy-winning artist H.E.R sung the US national anthem from inside the stadium.


Has Cruise done anything like this before?

Yes, actually.

In 2004, Cruise participated in the Olympics' opening ceremonies, helping carry the Olympic torch through Los Angeles as it made its way around the world before resting in Athens, Greece, where the games were taking place that year.
