Tom Cruise put on an adventurous act at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024. While the act by Cruise was one of the iconic, he had put out a condition for the organizers in order to join the performers at the event for free.
The condition to perform at the closing ceremony was that the actor would perform his own stunts without any body doubles.

The superstar also boarded a plane and jumped off the flight to land near the Hollywood sign.
Casey Wasserman, the president of the LA 28 Committee for the Olympics 2028, shared the details of Cruise’s performance at the global event. He revealed, “The backstory is that we realized we were producing a 15-minute live TV show, and so I hired who I think is the best person in the world to do that.” Wasserman went on to state, “The best part of the story is we pitched on a Zoom, and the original idea was a person in the stadium as a stunt double.”
The chairman of the Olympic committee went on to claim that the crew present at the sets was sure that they would take a shot of the actor near the Hollywood sign and that would be it; the rest will be taken care of by the body double. However, Cruise did not approve of the idea and claimed that he would perform the stunts by himself.

He said, “He finished filming Mission: Impossible at 6 p.m. in London, got right on a plane.” Wasserman further added, “He landed in L.A. at 4 a.m. and filmed the scene where he pulls onto a military plane. In L.A., he does two jumps out of the plane. He didn’t like the first one, so he did a second jump.”
