Cruise took the flag from LA Mayor Karen Bass and gold medallist Simone Biles before riding off on a motorcycle through the streets of Paris and boarding a plane near the Eiffel Tower. A dramatic pre-recorded video then showed the actor flying the coveted flag to the US and skydiving to the famed Hollywood sign in Los Angeles He then attached the five multicoloured Olympic rings to the two Os in the Hollywood sign. TMZ reported earlier this month that Cruise had approached the International Olympic Committee about being involved in the closing ceremony. This year, he was photographed at several events cheering on Team USA.”It's awesome," he told Reuters. "Great stories, great athletes. It's incredible what they have to do, the sense of accomplishment.”
