We thought Ethan Hunt was back in the capital, but no, Tom Cruise was only there for the Olympic Games! Late on Thursday evening, April 25, 2024, many Parisians shared images of the American star, in the middle of filming in the streets of Paris, perched on a motorcycle at full speed! But it turned out not to be the filming of Mission Impossible, according to RMC Sport.
He was spotted at several locations, including near the Saint-Georges metro station, near the Bir-Hakeim bridge and on Avenue Carnot, just a few meters from theArc de Triomphe. The 61-year-old actor will instead be one of the stars of the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on August 11 at the Stade de France, and this shoot was used to create a sequence for the transition from Paris 2024 to Los Angeles 2028.
The white flag on the back of his motorcycle will be used for post-production inlays. And this isn't a first for Tom Cruise, who has already taken part in the event, carrying the flame in 2004! Our colleagues at Le Parisien have confirmed his presence, in a 7-8 minute sequence in which he is expected to perform an exceptional stunt abseiling down the Stade de France! We can't wait to see it!
