Hollywood legend and 'Top Gun' actor Tom Cruise took over the Paris Olympics as he performed a spectacular stunt at the closing ceremony. The stunt was straight out of the 'Mission Impossible' playbook. For the closing ceremony, Tom Cruise was dressed in a leather jacket and gloves. The Hollywood actor lowered himself into the stadium while his compatriot H.E.R. performed on guitar. To mark the handover to Los Angeles, which will host the next Olympics in 2028, Tom Cruise was also seen in a pre-recorded film travelling through Paris and onto the US.
