At 62, Cruise performed an exhilarating free-fall at Stade de France. The "Top Gun" star plunged into the crowd, rappelling from high up, descending from the venue's edge with an Olympics flag and spotlighting America's star-spangled excellence.

Cruise also posted a selfie on his social media with the caption, "Thank you, Paris! Now off to LA."

The "Mission Impossible" star not only impressed audiences at the 2024 Olympic Games but teased the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, which is expected to feature its own jaw-dropping Tom Cruise stunt.

The final day of Olympic Games action was full of sparks, including a tense battle between Team USA women's basketball and Team France, which ended in a one-point victory for the Yanks.

Cruise wasn't the only notable American at the closing ceremony. Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg also performed on Sunday.
