Tom Cruise is busy setting up a bold stunt for the upcoming Closing Ceremony in Paris that will officially pass the Olympics flag down to Los Angeles, which shall be playing host in 2028.
As per TMZ, sources with direct knowledge have informed that audiences will see the actor repelling down from Stade de France’s top, then landing on its field with the flag in his hand.
At this point, TV broadcast will cut to a pre-recorded film!
The footage shall show Tom Cruise boarding an airplane for touching down in Los Angeles from France with the Olympic banner still with him.
He will skydive to the very famous Hollywood sign, passing on the flag to Olympians, including a well-known skateboarder, a cyclist, and a volleyball player.
Viewers shall witness this trio scooting around the city for hosting the 2028 Summer Games.
Insiders have revealed that the film in particular was shot on a Saturday morning in March.
Makers were concerned if someone would spot Tom Cruise in the air and leak this story, but no one caught sight of anything, making it go completely unnoticed.
A bunch of people did find him posing next to the Hollywood sign, although they obviously couldn’t connect the dots with Olympics.
Sources have further added that the logistics for the big stunt are still being hammered out in France.
The time is however ticking away fast because the Closing Ceremony is scheduled for August 11, making it very complicated for Tom Cruise, who might have a stunt double doing the actual repelling.
It’s said that he’s the one who approached the International Olympic Committee, completely planning the daredevil action sequence himself.
