The ceremony, held privately, reportedly took place just hours before the opening of the Olympics 2024 which is currently being held in Paris. Cruise has not yet commented on the honor.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Paris Olympics is being held amidst a climate of political unrest in France following recent parliamentary elections. However, the opening ceremony of the Olympics saw numerous celebrities including Cruise, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Shaun White, Nina Dobrev, Lindsey Vonn, Serena Williams, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, Tyla, Queen Latifah, and Rebel Wilson.<\/p>\n

Cruise is currently shooting for Mission: Impossible \u2013 Dead Reckoning Part Two<\/i>, the eighth instalment in the Mission Impossible <\/i>franchise. On the other hand, it was announced earlier this year that Paramount is currently developing a third Top Gun<\/i> movie.<\/p>\n
