Fox News
Casey Wasserman, the LA28 president and chairperson, explained how Tom Cruise became involved in the jaw-dropping stunt performed at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"He finished filming ‘Mission: Impossible’ at 6 p.m. in London, got right on a plane," Wasserman said, via The Hollywood Reporter. "He landed in L.A. at 4 a.m. and filmed the scene where he pulls onto a military plane. In L.A., he does two jumps out of the thing. He didn’t like the first one, so he did a second jump. Then he helicoptered from Palmdale to the Hollywood sign, filmed from 1 until 5, helicoptered to Burbank Airport and flew back to London." And according to Wasserman, Cruise did it all for free. Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
Wasserman, who hired seasoned TV producer Ben Winston to execute the stunt, said the idea was originally pitched to Cruise via Zoom.
