Cruise’s daring stunt was a highlight of the evening, but the closing ceremony featured numerous memorable moments. American gymnast Simone Biles, one of the stars of the Paris Games, handed the Olympic flag to Cruise before he sped away on a motorbike. The ceremony also included a live performance by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who played their classic hit “Can’t Stop” on a beach in Los Angeles, as well as performances by Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg.
The 62-year-old Cruise, who has previously scaled Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and clung to the side of an airplane for his film roles, was seen several times in Paris during the Games, supporting the U.S. team in various events. His appearance at the closing ceremony had been widely anticipated, with rumors circulating in the press days before the event.
