"He finished filming 'Mission: Impossible' at 6 p.m. in London, got right on a plane. He landed in LA at 4 a.m. and filmed the scene where he pulls onto a military plane," Wasserman said, detailing the commitment of Tom Cruise to make the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics memorable. Cruise's dedication involved extensive travel and planning, emphasizing his willingness to be deeply involved in the event.
"About five minutes into the presentation, [Cruise] goes, 'I'm in. But I'm only doing it if I get to do everything.'" The sheer enthusiasm and hands-on approach that Cruise showcased during the planning revealed his passion for his role in the Olympics, agreeing to perform all his stunts himself, ultimately for no payment.
"We're like, 'Well, there's no way we're getting this. We'll do the thing ... with the Hollywood sign, he'll hand the thing off and he's done." This statement reflects the initial doubts the production team had regarding Cruise's involvement, which were quickly dispelled by his active engagement and full commitment to the stunt.
