The 62-year-old actor plans to rappel from the roof of the Stade de France onto the arena pitch, waving the Olympic flag. Before that, viewers will see a pre-recorded video of Cruise flying across the Atlantic Ocean in a plane with a flag.
“The Olympics are great. Great stories and great athletes. What they do in competition is really impressive. It’s a sense of achievement,” the actor is quoted as saying in The Sun.
Tom Cruise had already participated in the Olympic torch relay at the Athens Games in 2004.
