As a seasoned gamer with a heart full of nostalgia and a mind always seeking adventure, I can’t help but feel a twinge of envy when I see Hoda Kotb’s picture with Tom Cruise. It’s not every day you get to share a moment with an action hero who leaps from buildings, races motorcycles, and jumps out of planes like it’s just another Tuesday!
Hoda Kotb can’t quite figure out how her photo ended up with Tom Cruise… but she certainly isn’t complaining!
“Kotb shared with Entertainment Tonight that it was quite unexpected, describing the moment as ‘I was amidst everyone, and in an instant, I can’t explain it. I fainted, and before I knew it, there was a photo of me taken.'”
On Instagram, Hoda Kotb shared a picture that she had long hoped to post, featuring Tom Cruise from Mission: Impossible, originally uploaded on the platform where Today hosts share their content.
“Did you ever imagine that one day you’d meet Tom Cruise in a dream… And then it became reality,” she titled the picture, showing her and Cruise standing in the rain during the opening ceremony on July 26.

As a gamer, I got to witness Savannah Guthrie, my fellow Kotb’s Today co-host, sharing anecdotes from her friend’s starstruck encounter during our recent interview.
As a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but exclaim when I heard someone say that the iconic Tom Cruise in the poncho-soaked scene was undoubtedly the standout shot of the Olympics. Hoda worked tirelessly to secure this photo opportunity, and when she finally emerged with the image, we were all left wondering where she had vanished to. Then, with a triumphant smile, she announced, “I got the shot!”
In the Paris 2024 Games, Cruise shone brightly as he played a pivotal role by passing the Olympic flag from France to Los Angeles during the L.A. 2028 takeover event. For everyone watching live on TV, he made a dramatic entrance by leaping into the Paris stadium, then rode his motorcycle out of the venue before parachuting down towards the Hollywood sign.
As a long-time admirer of Tom Cruise and his high-octane action films, I was thrilled to learn this week that he personally ensured the safety of stunt performers during the filming of a particularly daring stunt. Having followed his career for decades, it’s clear that Cruise is not only an incredibly talented actor but also deeply committed to the well-being of those who work alongside him. His dedication to safety on set is truly commendable and sets an example for other actors and filmmakers in Hollywood. It’s a testament to his character that he would go to such lengths to ensure the safety of others, even if it means sacrificing his own desire to perform the stunt himself. This act of kindness and professionalism is yet another reason why I continue to be a fan of Tom Cruise and look forward to seeing what amazing feats he will conquer next.
“Winston remarked, ‘I can’t find anyone quite like him on this planet.’ He added, ‘He’s an exceptional partner to work with.'”
