Tom Cruise’s Olympics Stunt Overshadowed By His “New Face”

Tom Cruise has a new face, critics argued on social media following the 2024 Paris Olympic Games closing ceremony on Sunday (August 11). The Mission: Impossible star descended from the top of the Stade de France after H.E.R. sang The Star-Spangled Banner. His dramatic sky-diving and motorcycle-riding tricks stunned athletes and fans alike.

After walking through a sea of competitors, Simone Biles and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass handed the 62-year-old, notable for doing his own stunts, the Olympic flag for him to bring back to the US, Fox News reported on Sunday.

The next Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles, USA, from Friday, July 14, 2028, to Sunday, July 30, 202

In a pre-recorded clip, Tom rode through the French capital city and onto a plane before he made his way to the top of the Hollywood sign in the City of Angels, which was configured to show the olympic rings, as per Fox News.

Rumors that the Golden Globe awards winner had undergone a nose job began back in 2012, but when asked by Playboy magazine if he had ever had surgery, he replied: “I haven’t and never would.”

Tom’s appearance at the 2016 BAFTAs had fans commenting on how he looked “inflated” and “puffy,” The Sun reported.

At the Mission Impossible: Fallout premiere in 2018, Tom reportedly looked leaner, with more lines showing on his forehead.

Such “dramatic” fluctuation may have been because “Cruise had a bit too much fat put in,” Kshem told The Daily Mail.

He explained: “We don’t recommend fat grafting is used alone as a filler, without a facelift as you’d have to add so much to achieve an effect there would be a danger patients would be left looking worse.

“The other thing it’s important patients realize is that fat grafts are relatively difficult to undo — other kinds of filler naturally dissolve to some extent over time, but fat is permanent.

 By 2010, Tom’s face was reportedly beginning to change, occasionally looking chubbier
