Movie star Tom Cruise did a shocking stunt at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics on August 11. The Hollywood star agreed to the act with only two conditions. The amount of the reward is also surprising.

Cruise landed by jumping from the roof of the Stade de France stadium and transported the Olympic flag by motorcycle and plane to the next summer Olympic city, Los Angeles.

Chairman of the Los Angeles Summer Olympics Casey Wasserman told The Hollywood Reporter that Cruise agreed to do the closing ceremony stunt if two of his conditions were met.

Wasserman revealed that Cruise agreed to the stunt if he could do everything himself.

– I’m in, but only if I get to do everything, Wasserman said Cruise said.

On top of that, Cruise and the other employees behind the project wanted to do everything for free. So, according to the chairman, the actor did not receive any kind of reward for the trick he did.

Wasserman describes Cruise’s dedication and work ethic as impressive. The actor is said to have rushed to film the stunt directly from the film’s set.

– He had finished Mission Impossible filming at 6 pm in London. Then he immediately boarded a plane and landed in Los Angeles at four in the morning. He filmed the scene where he gets on the plane. Cruise didn’t like his first skydive, so he jumped out of a plane twice.

– Then he flew by helicopter from Palmdale to the Hollywood sign and filmed the scenes from 13:00 to 17:00. He then took a helicopter to Burbank Airport and flew back to London, Wasserman said of the events.
