Tom Cruise, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Snoop Dogg and Billie Eilish feature in incredible Olympics handover (an)
The handover from Paris to Los Angeles was hailed as one of the best ever.
Tom Cruise made an incredible surprise appearance at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony to make the all-important handover to Los Angeles for the 2028 showpiece.
After rumours swirled online, the Mission Impossible star abseiled down the Stade de France and high-fived Olympic athletes before collecting the Olympic flag from LA mayor Karen Bass and US gymnast sensation Simone Biles.
He then proceeded to exit the stadium on a motorbike before getting on a jet and travelling across the world to skydive and arrive at the Hollywood sign, which was neatly modified with the Olympic rings.
He then passed the flag on to American cyclist Kate Courtney, who gave it to four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson at the Coliseum.
Skateboarder Jagger Eaton then assumed the flag and made his way to a special Red Hot Chilli Peppers performance of ‘Can’t Stop’ on Venice beach in California.
