Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is expected to appear at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics on August 11.
The action star, known for blockbusters such as the Mission Impossible series, Top Gun, and Edge of Tomorrow, will reportedly perform a stunt at the event as the Olympics flag is handed over to the 2028 games host city, Los Angeles, reported Deadline, quoting a well-placed source.
"Expect a major Hollywood production,” the publication said, quoting the source.
The specifics about the occasion are being kept under wraps, but the Olympic flag will be handed over from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo to LA Mayor Karen Bass.
TMZ, a popular Hollywood website, was the initial source to disclose Cruise's participation in the closing ceremony and asserted that the actor, recognised for his fearless attitude towards action, is organizing a "grand stunt" for the Olympics as well.
The plan, the website said, involved the actor "rappelling down from the top of Stade de France ... landing on the stadium field and carrying the official Olympic flag".
Paris was a major setting in Cruise's 2018 "Mission Impossible: Fallout".
The 2028 Summer Olympics will run from July 14-30 in Los Angeles, which also hosted the Games in 1932 and 1984.
