The Olympics are going to Hollywood in 2028.
And Tom Cruise helped kick off the party with a series of stunts during Sunday's closing ceremony in Paris.
After Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Los Angeles, and champion gymnast Simone Biles received the Olympic flag in the traditional passing-of-the-torch portion of the ceremony, cameras panned up to the roof of the Stade de France where Cruise was waiting to put on a show.
Cruise leaped from the roof and landed amongst the thousands of Olympic athletes waiting below. Then, with the musician H.E.R. rocking out on guitar, Cruise ran up onto the stage, grabbed the Olympic flag from Biles, then hopped on a motorcycle and rode out of the stadium.
That was followed by a montage of Cruise riding by iconic Paris landmarks and boarding a plane to Los Angeles.
Cruise's performance was followed by musical performances from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg on the beach in L.A.
The Los Angeles Olympics are set to begin on July 14, 2028.
