Tom Cruise was among the many celebrities spotted at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The actor then took center stage with a daring stunt during the closing ceremony. While the moment went viral, much of the buzz centered around his noticeably different appearance.

Social media users said Cruise looked “horrifying” and accused the actor of getting cosmetic work done. See the photos from the viral moment that sparked online speculation, prompting a plastic surgeon to shed light on the possible procedures Cruise may have had.

Tom Cruise’s Changed Appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics that Sparked Social Media Buzz

In July, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games set the sporting world alight, showcasing elite athleticism from around the world. As one of the most prestigious sporting events, the Olympics drew worldwide attention for the competition and the array of celebrity appearances.

The Games saw the presence of many high-profile personalities, including David Beckham and Zendaya. However, it was Cruise’s attendance that became one of the most talked-about topics — though not entirely for the reasons he might have hoped.

On July 27, the actor was spotted watching the victory ceremony of the women’s 4×100-meter freestyle relay swimming event. The action star, best known for his daring stunts and ageless energy, sported a casual yet polished look.

Other photographs showed Cruise in the VIP section, donning a dark collared shirt, and clapping with a smile as he watched the action unfold at the Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, west of Paris.

On July 28, Cruise was seen stopping for selfies with fans at the Artistic Gymnastics women’s qualification event at the Bercy Arena. Cruise’s hair was thick and slightly tousled, adding to his distinguished appearance. However, it was his facial structure that drew the most attention.

Observes quickly noted that his features seemed different compared to earlier public appearances, prompting further chatter about potential cosmetic enhancements. “Something is wrong with Tom Cruise’s cheeks, likе there are fillers there,” one person commented.

Another person also pointed out the perceived changes in Cruise’s face, with one person typing, “Tom so old…😭.” Other social media users took notice of Cruise attending day two of the 2024 Paris Olympics solo. “Weird how he always seem to show up at events alone, [sic]” one person shаrеd. Another wrote, “Wow Tom Cruise is alone.”

A Spectacular Stunt Overshadowed by Criticism of Cruise’s Appearance

Following his early appearance at the Paris Olympics, Cruise took center stage during the closing ceremony of the Games, blending his Hollywood flair with the global sporting event.

In a jaw-dropping sequence on August 11, Cruise descended from the roof of the Stade de France, soaring effortlessly through the air as cameras captured his dramatic entry. This breathtaking moment unfolded right after R&B singer H.E.R. delivered a stirring rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

However, the spectacle didn’t end with Cruise’s flight. As he landed among the athletes, he made his way through a sea of competitors, eventually meeting gymnastics legend Simone Biles and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

In a symbolic gesture, Biles and Bass handed Cruise the Olympic flag, marking the transition from Paris to Los Angeles, where the 2028 Games will take place.

The event was made even more cinematic by a pre-recorded video clip that aired during the ceremony. In it, Cruise is seen navigating the streets of Los Angeles before taking to the skies once again, eventually landing atop the iconic Hollywood sign.

Cruise’s participation in this sequence was no surprise, given his reputation for performing his own stunts. The actor also commemorated the occasion on Instagram, capturing the moment with a post and a caption that read, “Thank you, Paris! Now off to LA.”
