ALBAWABA - In keeping with his action film style, the actor in Mission: Impossible used a cable to drop him to the pitch at Stade de France.

There was a preview of what things would be like when the Olympics relocated to Los Angeles in 2028 when Tom Cruise leaped from the top of the Stade de France during the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics, which took place on Sunday evening.

As he approached the platform, Cruise shook hands, took photos, and hugged some athletes.

As part of the transfer of Hollywood to Los Angeles, which will host the games in 2028, Cruise departed the stadium among a swarm of athletes while carrying the Olympic flag and affixing it to a motorcycle. This represented the transition from Hollywood to Los Angeles.

A pre-recorded video showed Tom Cruise strolling through Paris, the capital of France, on his way to the aircraft that would take him to Los Angeles. The Olympic rings replaced the double "o" in the well-known "Hollywood" sign.
