Paris Olympics admits opening ceremony drag show was based on ‘Last Supper’

A Paris 2024 Olympics spokesperson admitted the controversial drag show version of “The Last Supper” seen in Friday’s opening ceremony was indeed inspired by the iconic da Vinci mural — despite attempting to vehemently deny it following fierce backlash.

“Thomas Jolly took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting to create the setting,” an Olympics spokesperson admitted to The Post in a statement on Saturday, referring to the opening ceremony creative director.

“He is not the first artist to make a reference to what is a world-famous work of art. From Andy Warhol to ‘The Simpsons,’ many have done it before him,” the statement continued.

I like looking at the Daily Mail and NY Post to keep in touch. Each publication often runs very good stories in the midst of everything else they run. Right now, I am going to switch from mainly looking at the Daily Mail to mainly looking at the NY Post for that kind of material. The reason I am switching is the Daily Mail has for some time been writing every headline as a clickbait tease. They provide a hint and expect you to click to find out what’s inside. I can’t stand that and plan to stop spending more than a few seconds on that publication. From now on, the NY Post will get my few minutes in the morning when I check to see if the world is still here. ABN
