Tom Cruise Beams as 'Mission Impossible' Theme Plays at Olympics Gymnastics

Tom Cruise was not the main attraction at the Bercy Arena in Paris on July 28, but the actor managed to draw significant attention as he watched Simone Biles and the U.S. women’s gymnastics team compete.

Cruise has been in Paris for the kickoff of the 2024 Summer Olympics, first spotted at the opening ceremony along the Seine river on July 26.

He was among a host of celebrities at the artistic gymnastics’ qualifying round on Sunday, being joined by Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, and Anna Wintour.

Cruise attracted a crowd of fans as he moved around the arena, taking selfies with many people from their seats. His upbeat mood was evident when the arena played the Mission: Impossible theme song. Cruise was shown smiling on the jumbotron as a few seconds of the iconic music played.

Ahead of the weekend, Cruise was in London to see Bruce Springsteen at Wembley Stadium. He has spent considerable time in the U.K. recently, filming the newest addition to the Mission: Impossible franchise.

The 2022 installment, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning, made $172 million at the domestic box office and earned the series its first-ever Academy Award nods.

Team USA’s cheering squad in Paris has featured quite a few stars. While the women’s gymnastics team competed, Jonas and Lady Gaga celebrated them and Biles on social media from the stands.

Alongside a video of Biles competing, Jonas wrote, “Incredible. Legend.” Similarly, Gaga wrote about her video of Biles, “She nailed it, what an honor to be so close!!!!”

Next up for the women will be the artistic gymnastics women’s team final, set for July 30, also at the Bercy Arena.
