Although the Olympic Games have not yet reached their halfway point, fans' emotions are already heating up for the closing ceremony. All because of Tom Cruise, who will play a significant role in this event. Remember that the next Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles.

Speculation about what Tom Cruise, along with the organisers of the Paris Olympic Games, has planned for the closing ceremony is stirring viewers' imaginations. The magazine The Hollywood Reporter reports that the actor will take part in the so-called handover of the Olympic flag, which the Hollywood star will bring with him to Los Angeles, the host of the 2028 Games.

The details of this event are, of course, being kept under great secrecy, but there is talk of "Mission Impossible-like stunt." On the internet, viewers are vying to guess what this could mean. Will Tom Cruise arrive by helicopter, sitting at the controls (he has many flight hours), or perhaps he will parachute in (he also has a lot of experience)? Or will we see something that was "only" pre-recorded?

Television viewers during the broadcast could see that the Hollywood star was observing the athletes' struggles from the first days of the Games. He cheered, among other events, during the gymnastics and swimming competitions.

"It's awesome. Great stories, great athletes. It's incredible what they have to do, the sense of accomplishment" – the actor told Reuters.

So, Tom Cruise is on a roll again. He is currently working on a project allowing him to shoot a film in space. The star is involved in creating a space film studio named SEE-1, which is set to dock at the first commercial space station, Axiom Station.
