Artistic director Thomas Jolly – who has received death threats amid claims the scene was an insult to Christianity, even though he insists it was inspired by Greek mythology and not the Bible – is also responsible for the closing ceremony and has been pushing on with its preparation against the backdrop of the furore. Unlike the logistically ambitious opening ceremony which ran along a four-mile stretch of the River Seine under pouring rain, the closing will take place in the 80,000-capacity, Stade de France stadium, which has been hosting the athletics competitions across the games. Stars spotted in Paris across the course of the games include Greta Gerwig, Michelle Yeoh, Sharon Stone, John Travolta, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes but there is no suggestion any of them will participate in the closing, although there have been strong rumors Leonardo DiCaprio could touch down for the event.
