PARIS — Simone Biles is back, and while it is difficult to watch anything other than the every move of the greatest gymnast in history, there are plenty of celebrities in the crowd that you can’t miss. Paris is a much different scene than the Tokyo Olympics, which took place in empty arenas during COVID.
To that end, everyone and their mother is trying to get a selfie with the who’s who of U.S. celebrities who are in town to watch the Games and here at gymnastics to witness the return of Biles.
For example, singer Ariana Grande is at Bercy Arena with her brother Frankie and Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo.

Tom Cruise is here to watch some Olympics, thank you. But everyone wants a selfie. Except for that one man in the middle.
