Although the Olympic Games have not yet reached their halfway point, fans' emotions are already heating up for the closing ceremony. This is 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 and the organizers of the Paris Olympic Games have planned for the closing ceremony is stirring viewers' imaginations. The magazine "The Hollywood Reporter" reports that the actor will take part in the handover of the Olympic flag, which he will take to Los Angeles, the host of the 2028 Games.

The details of this event are being kept under tight wraps, but there is talk of something "Mission Impossible-like stunt." Online, viewers are eagerly guessing what this could mean. Will Tom Cruise arrive by helicopter, sitting at the controls (he has extensive flight experience), or perhaps he will parachute in (he's well-versed in that too)? Or will we see something that was pre-recorded?

Television viewers have seen the Hollywood star observing the athletes' struggles from the first days of the Games. He cheered during events such as 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.

Tom Cruise is on a roll again. He is 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.
