During the Olympics closing ceremony, a woman forcibly kissed and hugged Tom Cruise at Stade de France. Scroll to see viral videos!
Tom Cruise, known for performing daredevil stunts with the utmost ease, capped off the 2024 Olympics by abseiling off the Stade de France roof and travelling all the way back to the United States with the Olympic flag. During the closing ceremony act, the actor got mobbed by fans and one even managed to kiss and hug Cruise forcibly.
Several videos of the unusual exchange between the actor and the fan are going viral online and as expected, netizens are unhappy with the fan's behaviour. Many are questioning if something like this would go under the radar if the roles were reversed.
"Would hate to see what would happen if the roles were reversed," a user wrote on X. Meanwhile, another commented, "Did she ask for consent?"
"The amount of people laughing at Tom Cruise getting kissed while working at the Olympics is disgusting. If that was a female celebrity there'd be uproar. Like him or not that shouldn't have happened," a third wrote.
“The worst kind of people in audiences. Absolute zero respect for personal space. If it had been a man with a woman people would already be looking for all his information to burn him alive,” a fourth opined.
