The countdown for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games started on Sunday when the Paris Olympics came to a close, and many stars were part of the celebration, including French singer Yseult, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and Tom Cruise.

Following reports of a possible performance by the actor, Cruise did a stunt at the closing ceremony that has people talking.

According to reports, Cruise would rappel into Paris' Stade de France, during the closing ceremonies. That would be followed by a pre-recorded video of Cruise skydiving onto the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.

Cruise, 62, is known for taking stunts to the next level, and given that Los Angeles will be hosting the 2028 Olympics, it was assumed that someone representing the city would be in attendance to take the Olympic flag, as is tradition.
