Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise made a dramatic appearance at Sunday night's Olympic closing ceremony in Paris, abseiling into the Stade de France from the roof.
The Mission: Impossible star descended into the stadium carrying the Olympic flag, as the the host city bid an emotional "au revoir" to the 2024 competition.
He was then seen in a pre-recorded film travelling through Paris and onto the US - where he journeyed to the legendary Hollywood sign and unfurled the Olympic colours.
Los Angeles is hosting the next Olympics in 2028, and the ceremony in Paris marked the formal handover.Cruise was mobbed by athletes as soon as he landed in the stadium.
He proceeded to take the flag from one of the stars of Paris - American gymnast Simone Biles - before a thrilled audience watched him zoom off on his motorbike.
The pre-recorded clip showing his journey to LA was soundtracked by California natives Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The funk-rock hitmakers then delivered a live performance of their classic track Can't Stop on a beach in Los Angeles. Other acts included Snoop Dogg, who performed with Dr Dre.
