Tom Cruise plays a surprisingly important role in the Olympics. No, not in the movie.
Track and field is the main event of the Olympic Games. From records set by Katy Ledecky and Simone Biles to other results, people are cheering for their country at the competition.
But the Olympics are also a triumphant show, reflected in the grand opening ceremony. Yes, even if some weirdos make up conspiracy theories about them.
The closing ceremony is also a big deal. Tom Cruise will play a key role in passing the torch to the next host city.
The 2024 Olympic Games will end on August 11
Many celebrities attended the 2024 Paris Olympics. In some cases, they sponsor athletes.
From Flavor Flav sponsoring Team USA water polo to Snoop Dogg providing commentary (with his help) emotional support (Martha Stewart entered dressage because he was “afraid of horses”), and the Olympics are a hotbed of celebrity sightings.
Some simply watch as fans and cheer on America’s greatest athletes.
However, Tom Cruise will appear during the closing ceremony rather than during the game.
On August 11, the closing ceremony will be held in Paris. This will include a symbolic Olympic handover to pave the way for the 2028 Summer Games.
In 2028, the Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, California. While this will be a tragic time for the actual residents of Los Angeles County, it is certainly an honor for America.

Tom Cruise will attend the Olympic handover ceremony. The 62-year-old actor is going all out.
During games, he was in the stands, often sitting next to Warner Bros. Discovery villain David Zaslav. Now we know what he was doing there.
TMZ Tom Cruise is reportedly planning a spectacular handover performance. He’s known (or infamous) to be a fan of stunts.
according to TMZTom Cruise’s plan reportedly involves rappelling from the top of the Stade de France (115 feet high) and then landing on the stadium with the Olympic flag.
The actual broadcast will then show footage of Tom’s plane journey from Paris to Los Angeles. Finally he’ll parachute to an iconic landmark: the Hollywood sign.
TMZ Pointing out that Cruise recorded this on a seemingly random Saturday morning in March. At the time, his team thought people would notice him and figure out what he was doing. But we live in chaotic times, so this is the first time the news has been made public.
From Paris to Los Angeles!
Beyond that, we know very little about the closing ceremony. Everyone (except the apparent leaker) worked hard to keep the details secret.
Officially, we know Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will receive the Olympic flag from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
how What happened (Cruise was apparently the middle man during the ceremony) will be interesting to all of us.
