Famed actor and longtime Olympics supporter Tom Cruise played a key role in the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics on Sunday, which was highlighted by his skydiving stunt into Stade de France from the top of the stadium.
Before Cruise made his grand entrance into the arena by rappelling down into the venue below, he snapped an epic selfie which he shared on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account after the closing ceremony concluded.
"Thank you, Paris! Now off to LA," Cruise captioned, as he snapped the selfie featuring the packed stadium below him.
