The 62-year-old Mission: Impossible star abseiled off the roof of the Stade de France, dressed in his signature leather jacket and gloves, as the crowd erupted in cheers.
His dramatic entrance happened while American singer H.E.R. rocked the stadium with an electric guitar performance, including a powerful rendition of the U.S. national anthem.
The excitement didn’t stop there—Cruise took the Olympic flag from American gymnast Simone Biles, then zoomed off on a motorbike, thrilling everyone in the stadium.
A pre-recorded video showed Cruise traveling through Paris and then heading to Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Olympics.
The video ended with him unfurling the Olympic flag at the iconic Hollywood sign.
The closing ceremony featured a live performance by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who played their hit “Can’t Stop” on a sunny Los Angeles beach.
Other big-name acts like Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg also took the stage, with Snoop, an LA native, a regular face throughout the Games.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach praised the Paris Games as “sensational” and thanked the athletes for inspiring the world.
The ceremony was a fitting end to an exciting Olympics, with the U.S. finishing at the top of the medals table after a thrilling women’s basketball final win.
