Biles and Cruise were part of the LA2028 portion of the 2024 Paris Closing Ceremony
After dominating the Paris Olympics with multiple gold medals, Biles admitted that her most nerve-wracking moment wasn’t during her performance-it was when she had to hand the Olympic flag to actor Tom Cruise at the closing ceremony.
Biles feared handing over the Olympic Flag to Tom Cruise
While discussing her experiences at the Games, Fallon asked Biles what had made her the most nervous.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t performing her signature Yurchenko double pike or her routines on the balance beam.
Instead, Biles revealed, “I was like, ‘Okay, I have to hand the flag off, don’t mess it up, don’t mess it up.’ I was terrified.”
The confession came as a surprise to many, considering Biles’ usual composure in high-stakes situations.
She humorously added, “I’m always tripping, falling down stairs… that’s what I was really worried about.”
Biles, now 27, also briefly touched on her potential participation in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, joking about how she feels “old” for the sport.
Nevertheless, she once again proved her prowess in Paris, bringing home three golds and a silver, cementing her status as the most decorated American gymnast of all time.
Upcoming plans for Biles & Cruise
In addition to her Olympic success, Biles is set to headline the Gold Over America Tour this fall, a 30-city gymnastics showcase featuring her teammates Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles, along with a star-studded lineup of other athletes.
Even with her packed schedule, Biles remains committed to supporting her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, as he gears up for the season with the Chicago Bears.
As for Tom Cruise, the Mission: Impossible star is reportedly looking beyond the Earth for his next stunt-literally.
Cruise has expressed a fascination with space exploration and UFOs, fueling his ambitions to film a stunt in space.
According to sources, the actor’s deep-rooted interests in extraterrestrial life and his religious beliefs are major driving forces behind this passion.
Despite their different worlds, both Biles and Cruise have continued to push boundaries in their respective fields-Biles through her athletic prowess and Cruise through his groundbreaking film endeavors.
