“I'm honoured to be here because I always represent peace.” Legendary exercise and clean-living advocate Snoop Dogg to run with the Olympic torch in Paris

Snoop Dogg.

Life, we know, is full of surprises, but we'll be honest, we didn't have 'Snoop Dogg to carry Olympic torch' on our 2024 bingo card. 

Californian's most laidback advocate for exercise and clean-living is in Paris as an NBC television correspondent, having proved a hit with US TV viewers while commentating on events for streaming service Peacock at the Tokyo Olympics, alongside comedian Kevin Hart. And having attended the US Olympic Team Track and Field Trials last month, the rapper is set to lace up his own running shoes tomorrow (July 24) to help bear the Olympic flame on its journey across France, ahead of the Games' opening ceremony, on Friday, July 26. Snoop will assist the torch's progress through Saint-Denis, stage 67 on the route to Paris.
