Tom Cruise<\/a> brought Hollywood to Paris, and back around again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Mission: Impossible” star descended from the top of the Stade de France after H.E.R. sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday, Aug. 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cameras panned to the top of the building to watch Cruise effortlessly fly through the sky and down to the athletes who competed in the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After walking through a sea of competitors, Simone Biles and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass handed Cruise the flag for him to bring it back to the States in a nod to signify the hand-off from Paris to the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles<\/a> Olympics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank you, Paris! Now off to LA,” Cruise shared on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a pre-recorded clip, Cruise rode through town and onto a plane before he made his way to the top of the Hollywood sign in LA, which was now configured to show the Olympic rings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruise is known for hitting his mark and performing his own death-defying stunts. The “Top Gun: Maverick” star filmed part of the spot in March when he was seen flashing his abs<\/a> while posing on top of the iconic landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Production came to a grinding halt on “Mission: Impossible \u2013 Fallout” in 2017 when Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt where he jumped between buildings. He got the shot and went back to filming despite not being fully healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Cruise showed off Hollywood to the world, athletes cruised around town before the flag was finally brought to a Southern California<\/a> beach where Los Angeles local band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed, before Highland Park-native Billie Eilish took the stage on top of a lifeguard tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olympic breakout star, Snoop Dogg<\/a>, was back on the West Coast to perform with legendary hip hop icon, Dr. Dre, to welcome the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did the famous rapper carry the torch during opening ceremonies weeks ago, he also provided commentary throughout the games and was a staple at many Olympic events, including dressage with his best buddy, Martha Stewart.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When the lights are on, that\u2019s when I shine the best,” he told the Associated Press.<\/u><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This opportunity was nothing but a chance for me to show the world what it\u2019s supposed to look like when you put the right person in the right environment.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, “But remember, I\u2019m a rapper. So, ain\u2019t no rapper ever did what I\u2019m doing. It\u2019s limitations to the field that I come from. Rappers aren\u2019t supposed to do this. I tend to do the unthinkable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
