Hollywood actor Tom Cruise thrilled a crowd of 71,500 at the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony by rappelling down from the roof of the Stade de France.
During the event, Cruise was caught off guard when a woman unexpectedly grabbed him and kissed him on the cheek as he was surrounded by fans eager for selfies following his dramatic entrance.
A widely shared video on social media shows the woman pulling Cruise in for a kiss while filming the moment on her phone. The Top Gun: Maverick star seemed visibly surprised by the sudden gesture.
As the video spread online, many social media users criticized the woman’s behavior, prompting a discussion about how the situation might have been perceived differently if the roles were reversed.
