The Olympics are about to move to Hollywood, and Tom Cruise just gave everyone a glimpse of what it’s going to be like.

During the closing ceremony on Sunday, the “Mission: Impossible” star performed a daring jump from the top of the Stade de France.

As the spotlight shone on Cruz on the roof, he was lowered to the arena floor by cable. He then made his way through the athletes to the stage, shaking hands and taking selfies with them along the way, including a very enthusiastic hug from one athlete.

And that was not all.

As part of the handover of the Olympic flag from Hollywood to Los Angeles, which will host the games in 2028, Cruz took the Olympic flag, attached it to a motorcycle and rode out of the stadium amid a crowd of athletes. (No one was apparently hurt.)

In a touch of movie magic, Cruise then appears in a pre-filmed clip riding through Paris until he gets on a plane that defies space and time to reach Los Angeles.

As the camera pans away, Cruise appears at the Hollywood sign, where the Olympic rings have replaced the double “o”s in the word Hollywood.

Yes, it all really happened.

Cruise is, of course, known for his love of stunts.

The actor is known for putting his body on the line in several films, most notably the multi-billion dollar “Mission” series, in which he plays spy Ethan Hunt. The eighth part is expected to be released in 2025.

“It’s not that I’m not afraid, it’s that I don’t mind being afraid,” the actor told CNN last year.
