During the Paris Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday night, August 11, Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise performed a dramatic stunt in the French capital by jumping off the roof of Stade de France, one of the largest stadiums and landing on stage.
An online video shows a fan forcefully kissing Cruise on the cheek during the closing ceremony as fans mobbed him. However, it has sparked widespread criticism online. In the clip, the fan is seen grabbing him by the neck and kissing him while recording the moment on her phone.

Several netizens criticised the female fan's behaviour. A user on X wrote, "Imagine if the roles were reversed." While another user said, "Cringe. If a man did that to a female celebrity there would be questions." A third user added, "Would hate to see what would happen if the roles were reversed."
Another comment read, "Imagine if a guy tried the exact same thing with Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande. What a crazy world we live in."
