The actor from Mission: Impossible was among the prominent figures who participated in the ceremony, which commemorated the transition from Paris to Los Angeles, the location of the 2028 games.
During his segment, the 62-year-old performed a dramatic abseil from the roof of the Stade de France and landed
in a throng of supporters. He then jumped onto a motorcycle and rode out of the stadium while still holding the Olympic flag.
The Hollywood personality was then depicted in a footage traveling through the French capital and boarding an aircraft. He subsequently landed at the renowned Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.
Viewers were left “underwhelmed” by Cruise’s ploy, despite the fact that he was observed multiple times in Paris rooting on Team USA.
