Tom Cruise made an unforgettable entrance for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics during the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Games. The actor made a dramatic appearance by skydiving into the Parisian stadium, where he received the Olympic flag from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and gymnast Simone Biles.

Following the live jump, Cruise was seen riding a motorcycle out of the stadium with the flag in tow. The broadcast then shifted to a pre-recorded segment featuring Cruise motorcycling through Paris, boarding a plane near the Eiffel Tower, and skydiving into the Hollywood Hills, where he placed the Olympic rings on the famous “HOLLYWOOD” sign.
"Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to bring the Olympic flag to Los Angeles."
